Abuja – The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said the results of the 2023 general elections will be collated manually.

This is in spite of the inclusion of electronic transmission and collation of election results in the Electoral Act 2022.

The commission’s National Commissioner and Chairman of its Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, said this in Abuja.

Okoye who spoke on Saturday said the Electoral Act is clear on how collation of election results should be done.

He, however, said that
commission will transmit results electronically from polling units to its result-viewing portal, IReV, as witnessed in recent elections in Anambra and Osun States.

“There is a marked difference between the transfer/transmission of results and the collation of results.

” Section 50 (2) of the Electoral Act, 2022 gives the commission the absolute discretion to determine the mode and procedure of voting in an election and the transmission of election results.

“Sections 60 and 62 of the Electoral Act govern post-election procedure and collation of election results.

” Section 60(1) of the Act provides that the presiding officer shall, after counting the votes at a polling unit, enter the votes scored by each candidate in a form to be prescribed by the commission.

“Section 60(5) of the Act makes it mandatory that the presiding officer shall transfer the results, including total number of accredited voters and the results of the ballot in a manner prescribed by the commission.

“Thereafter, the presiding officer shall after recording and announcing the results deliver the same along with election materials under security and accompanied by the candidates or their polling agents, where available to such person as may be prescribed by the commission.

“The implication of this is that the collation process of results is still essentially manual, but the collation officer must collate subject to his verification and confirmation that the number of accredited voters stated on the collated result are correct and consistent with the number of accredited voters recorded and transmitted directly from polling units,” Okoye explained.

According to him, collation of results will essentially be done manually, where there was a dispute regarding a collated result or the result from any polling unit, the collation or returning officer will use the original of the disputed collated result, accreditation data from the BVAS device and the results transmitted directly from the polling unit to determine the correctness of the result.
