INEC will upload results from 5,634 polling units via E-transmission in the Anambra Gov poll.
Glamtush reports that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it will upload election results from the 5,634 polling units to its result-viewing portal in today’s governorship poll in Anambra State.
It however said collation of results would be done manually as obtained in previous elections and not with the uploaded results.
The commission expressed confidence that the technological approach, designed to enhance transparency in the election management process, would boost people’s confidence in elections and enable Nigerians to view polling unit results in real time as voting ends.
The innovation, introduced in August 2020, was first used by the electoral body in the August 8, 2020 Nasarawa Central State Constituency bye-election and was later deployed in the Edo and Ondo states governorship elections held on September 19 and October 10, 2020, respectively.
INEC National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, in an interview on Thursday said that after the commission converted 1,112 voting points to full-fledged polling units, the total polling units in the state rose to 5,720.
He said 86 polling units would not be used because the commission could not carry out batch transfers because of insecurity and the inability to carry out intensive civic and voter education.
