The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says the configuration of the bimodal voter accreditation system (BVAS) will be completed on Tuesday ahead of the March 18 governorship and the house of assembly elections.
, the electoral commission postponed the governorship and state assembly elections by one week in order to have adequate time to reconfigure the BVAS.
Speaking on Sunday in an interview on Channels Television, Festus Okoye, INEC national commissioner, said no BVAS machine will be reconfigured without the data being uploaded to the “accreditation backend”.The INEC spokesperson said the commission has learnt lessons on the challenges of the BVAS machines during the presidential elections.
“In fact, the BVAS will not allow itself to be reconfigured or reset if the entire data is not pushed to the accreditation backend. “I’m sure that by Tuesday when we hope to complete the resettling of the BVAS for the purposes of the governorship and state assembly elections, the results in all the places where elections were conducted would have been pushed to the accreditation backend.”
