The document available to us has it that the Electoral Commission (EC) says it has issued the same voter ID number to some 65 applicants in two Registration Centers at the Okaikwei North District.
A statement from the Commission states that, the anomaly occurred as a result of a faulty kit that had its unique identity transferred to a back up kit was inadvertently released to the District Office after it had been repaired without creating a new identity for it.
The Electoral Commission said it detected the anomaly on the same day the cards were issued and have assured the persons involved to provide them with new voter ID numbers at the completion of the registration process.
