INEC Says there is no going back on Polling Units’ transmission of results
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has dissmissed claims that it plans to abandon the transmission of Polling Units (PUs) results and return to the INEC Result Viewing (IReV) portal.
On Friday Festus Okoye, National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, said this in Abuja.
In his response, he said reports in a section of the media that INEC wanted to rig the 2023 general elections by disregarding the direct and real-time electronic upload of PUs results to the IReV portal by the Registration Area Technical Support Staff (RATECHSS) is farce.
“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.
“The public is advised to ignore the reports. The Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and IReV have come to stay for voter accreditation and uploading of polling unit results in real-time in Nigeria,” Okoye said.
