The INEC Chairman say accreditation and electronic transmission of results would be done seamlessly during the forthcoming general elections.
The Bimodal Voter Accreditation System machines have never failed and will not fail Nigerians at the 2023 general elections.
“We have also made contingency arrangements like we will do on Election Day, that there is a spare machine in case and in the unlikely event of a malfunction we will be able to respond and fix the machines’’ he said. He assured that accreditation and electronic transmission of results would be done seamlessly during the elections.“However, in every situation the Commission learns, carries the experience from what has happened to improve the processes for the next election.
He said that INEC created a new Uniform Resource Locator on its Results Viewing Portal where both the accreditation and results could be viewed.“We are giving assurance to Nigerians that on Election Day, both the accredited data and the actual votes cast will be transmitted simultaneously and accurately,’’ the INEC boss stressed.
He explained that for the mock exercise, INEC identified 436 polling units nationwide on the equality of states and on the basis of two local governments per senatorial district.
