Abuja – The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said on Sunday that collation and transmission of results of the coming 2023 general elections will be done electronically.

The commission’s National Commissioner and Chairman of its Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye made the clarification in a statement in Abuja.

The statement titled ‘‘Clarification On Electronic Transmission Of Election Result ‘’ was in response to news making rounds that the collation of results of 2023 elections will be done manually, a statement attributed to Okoye himself.

Okoye in the statement said
electronic transmission of election results stands.

“The Independent National Electoral Commission’s 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.

“For clarity, the procedure for result transmission 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 results has come to stay.

“It adds to the credibility and transparency of the process when citizens follow polling unit level results on the INEC Result Viewing Portal in real time on Election Day.

“There will be no change or deviation in subsequent elections.

“The entire gamut of result management is provided in SectIons 60, 62, and 61 of the Electoral Act 2022.

“In line with the provision of the law, the Commission in April this year released a detailed clarification of the procedure for transmission, collation, and declaration of result which was shared with all stakeholders and uploaded to our website,” Okoye explained in the statement.

INEC then called on Nigerians to familiarise themselves with the provisions of the Electoral Act and the Commission’s detailed explanation of the procedure and refrain from drawing conclusion based on media headlines. (vitalnewsngr.com)
