The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Kassim Gaidam, made the disclosure on Tuesday afternoon during a chat with reporters at the INEC state office in Yola.
According to him, the decision was taken after due consultation with the INEC headquarters in Abuja.
He said efforts were being made with the various security agencies to ensure the violence, which characterised supplementary election in some other states does not repeat itself in Adamawa.
The supplementary governorship election in the state will take place 44 polling units in 14 local government areas.
