2023: INEC Denies Plan To Jettison Electronic Results Transmission

November 11, (THEWILL) – The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has assured Nigerians that the results of the 2023 general elections would be transmitted electronically.

The commission also assured that the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and the INEC Result Viewing (IReV) portal would be deployed to ensure the credibility of the polls.

The commission in a statement issued on Friday by its spokesman, Festus Okoye, urged the public to disregard reports suggesting otherwise.

The statement read: “Our attention has been drawn to reports in a section of the media of alleged plans by the Commission to rig the 2023 General Election by abandoning the direct and real-time electronic upload of polling unit results to the INEC Result Viewing (IReV) portal by the Registration Area Technical Support Staff (RATECHSS).

“The claim is patently false. The Commission has repeatedly reassured Nigerians that it will transmit results directly from the polling units as we witnessed in Ekiti and Osun State Governorship elections and 103 more constituencies where off-cycle Governorship/FCT Area Council elections and bye-elections were held since August 2020. The results can still be viewed on the portal.

“The IReV is one of the innovations introduced by the Commission to ensure the integrity and credibility of election results in Nigeria. It is therefore inconceivable that the Commission will turn around and undermine its own innovations.”
