<p>According to Elliot, the election process, which has been fast and straight forward, has enabled people to vote quickly and leave for their homes.</p>

<p>This had made it to appear as if the turnout at the various polling units were low, he said.</p>

<p>People have voted and gone back home, which is why it appears as if the turnout, is low but people have actually voted.</p>

<p>The process has been free and fair and no issue of malfunctioning of the card readers has been recorded, Elliot, currently representing (APC-Surulere 1) at the Lagos State House of Assembly, told NAN.</p>

<p>Elliot assured the people of his constituency that he would continue to serve them with humility and champion developments in different sectors if voted in to serve them again. (NAN)</p>
