The INEC is conducting mock accreditation exercises across the country to test the effectiveness of the newly introduced Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) before the general election.
Some voters and members of political parties said they are optimistic about the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System .
“When I came they collected my Permanent Voters Card , I thumbprinted and my information appeared on the screen of the BVAS machine, they also tried facial accreditation which was also successful in some seconds. The entire process is not up to two minutes.“I was tested like other voters but the BVAS machine rejected me for the second time. The machine alerted me that I was earlier accredited thus, I can’t vote twice.
An observer, representing the All Progressives Congress , Adamu Kwankwaso, said the accreditation process using the BVAS machine is impressive. He, however, urged the INEC to educate voters in the rural areas before the election. “The INEC on their part must ensure that all BVAS machines going to rural areas are adequately charged to enable them to work throughout the accreditation period,” Mr Kwankwaso said.
“We have done our best by going around notifying people about the mock accreditation exercise but yet many people did not show up.
