The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has clarified that the 2023 general election results would be transmitted electronically.
Mr Festus Okoye, the National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee of INEC , disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, August 21, 2022.
Mr Okoye said the clarification becomes necessary as a result of a misunderstanding which arose from an interview.
He further stated that there will be no deviation from the manner in which the recent Ekiti and Osun gubernatorial elections were conducted.
The statement party reads :
“For clarity, the procedure for result transmissions remains the same as in recent Governorship elections in Ekiti and Osun States. There will be no change in all future elections, including the 2023 General Election.
We wish to reassure Nigerians that the electronic transmission of result has come to stay. It adds to the credibility and the transparency of the process when citizens follow polling unit results on the INEC Result Viewing (IReV) portal on real-time on Election Day. There will be no change or deviation in subsequent elections.”
