The INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Edo, Anugbum Onuoha, revealed that the results of the ongoing governorship election will be transmitted electronically.
He stated that only poor network connectivity could hinder the electronic transmission of the results.
Onuoha made this known in an interview with Arise Television on Saturday, where he also disclosed that INEC has implemented contingency plans of 660 BVAS as a backup.
“You know that we have 4,519 pulling units across the 18 local governments, and so far we have deployed 4,622 BVAS to the various local governments. And we also have a backup of 660 BVAS,” he said.
“We have trained the operators for the BVAS. They are set. BVAS is to accredit the voters, to know the total number of voters that will vote at that level, that pulling unit.
“After that, then the voters will now start voting. At the end of the day, they will count the results, and it will be uploaded to our IReV.
