Mahmood said the ban will help reduce the risk of vote buying and selling, which according him has become the norm amongst politicians during elections.

He said voters will not be allowed to use their devices at the polling units, but would be banned from holding their cameras and telephones once ballot papers are issued and until they cast their votes in the ballot boxes.

The Osun State Governorship election is slated to hold on Saturday, September 22, 2018.
