The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), says the glitch experienced in the upload of the presidential election should not be cause to write off the entire polls held nationwide.
INEC National Commissioner, Mr. Festus Okoye, stated this in response to the final report on the 2023 general elections submitted by the European Union Election Observation Mission on Monday.
He urged Nigerians not to judge the electoral empire as a result of the challenge the commission experienced in the upload of the presidential election results.

In terms of voter accreditation, he maintained that nobody has faulted the functionality of the Bi-modal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS).
The BVAS machine is an electronic device distributed across the over 176,000 polling units in the country by INEC for the accreditation of voters during the 2023 general elections.
The device was also designed to promptly upload photographic copies of result sheets to the INEC Results Viewing (IReV) portal after result documentation at the polling units.
