The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the lateness was due late arrival of INEC officials.
When voting started, elderly men and women were given the priority to vote first before the youth.
Accreditation and voting are also ongoing in polling units 3 and 15, in Okaegben ward one, Ewohimi, in Esan South East Local Government of Edo.
