Scores of voters could not vote as of 11:46 am in the Anambra governorship poll as the Biometric Voters accreditation System at Alor Ward 1 in the Idemili South LGA of the state was not functioning.

According to the presiding officer, a female corps member, who pleaded not to be named, said the BIVAS could not capture the voters.
