2023: Electronic Transmission Of Results Remains – INEC

The Evangelist edition, August 21,2022. By Solomon OKPO

This is contained in a statement issued on Sunday in reaction to media reports that there would be manual collation of results in the forthcoming elections.

Festus Okoye, National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, said in the statement that the media misinterpreted the interview he granted a newspaper on the issue.

The statement informed that the commission would continue with electronic transmission of results as used in the recent Ekiti and Osun States government elections.

The Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) attention has been drawn to a misunderstanding arising from a recent short interview granted to a national newspaper on the procedure for result management during elections.

Some have interpreted the explanation on result management procedure to mean that the Commission has jettisoned the electronic transmission of result and reverted to the manual process.
This is not correct.
