In order to prevent election result manipulation, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) claims to have implemented crucial technological safeguards to the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS).
This information was revealed by INEC Chairman Prof. Joash Amupitan (SAN) on Wednesday in Abuja at a meeting with RECs and the inauguration of Dr. Chukwu Joseph as the Abia REC.
According to Amupitan, the upgrades were made especially to protect the result management system and guarantee the accuracy of data sent to the INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV).
“I must not overlook the enhancement we have implemented in our system for managing results.
“We have determined that the actual compilation of the results at multiple levels poses a greater threat to our democratic process than even the voting at the polling places.
“We have implemented certain measures to prevent any kind of manipulation of the results that are sent to IREV,” he stated.
According to Amupitan, the presiding officer must now take a picture of the filled-out Form EC8A and upload it to the IReV as part of the update.
The presiding officer must also input each political party’s score straight into the BVAS instrument, he continued.
“To make sure that the total number of votes cast does not surpass the number of accredited voters, the BVAS system conducts internal validation checks.
“Mathematically, the entered figures are consistent. “Over-voting is automatically detected and cannot be resolved,” he stated.
According to Amupitan, the improvements were put to the test during the polls for the Kano and Rivers States Constituencies as well as the FCT Area Council on Saturday.
He mentioned that the election results were posted to IREV and verified as accurate.
“At this time, 97 percent of the FCT Area Council election results have been uploaded to IREV,” he stated.
The INEC Chairman also said that the organization would shortly begin reviewing its rules and policies for the 2027 poll.
The alleged manipulation of the election results at the Kuroko Health Centre voting station in Kwali Area Council during the Saturday FCT area council election was likewise deemed fraudulent and untrue by Amupitan.
He clarified that a presiding officer made a clerical error by recording 122 for a party instead of 121 during a probe into the internet rage.
Additionally, she fixed the figures in words. The outcome that was later appropriately recorded into the Ward Collation’s collation form EC8B was exact and correct.
“The FCT REC had to publish a public release regarding that occurrence and a few other cases where there were changes due to the investigation’s findings.
“I have to tell you all that Nigerians are looking to us with increased anticipation and scrutiny, even though there is no perfect election.”
“I must stress that this is an important process and there is no room for error or excuse,” Amupitan stated.
The INEC chief also revealed that the Commission would shortly release an updated Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the 2027 General Election in light of the Electoral Act 2026’s passage on February 13.
In order to strengthen the integrity of the voter registration, he also said that the Commission would shortly start a revalidation process to guarantee a “thorough clean-up.”
“The previous notice was given in accordance with the previous legislation. We must make certain changes and release an updated schedule for the general election in 2027 due to the new Electoral Act.
The revalidation process for our voters must also be mentioned.
“In order to further sanitize and strengthen the integrity of the register in preparation for the 2027 General Election, the commission will shortly begin a comprehensive clean-up,” he stated.
Additionally, Amupitan stated that the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) second phase was still in progress and would run through April 17.
He stated, “The entire CVR exercise is scheduled to span one year and will be concluded on August 30.”
Additionally, in anticipation of the general elections in 2027, Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) across the country have been instructed by Prof. Joash Amupitan, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to step up voter education and sensitization efforts.
At a meeting with RECs and the swearing-in of Dr. Chukwu Chukwuemeka Joseph, the new REC representing Abia, Amupitan issued the directive on Wednesday in Abuja.
In preparation for the 2027 elections, he also asked voters nationwide to locate their voting places (PUs) using the INEC systems that are now available.
Despite a slight increase in voter turnout in the most recent FCT Area Council elections, the chairman pointed out that voter indifference remained a serious problem that needed “continuous, not episodic” engagement.
Although there was a slight improvement in the FCT, voter indifference was still evident in the turnout.
Voter turnout increased from 9.4% in 2022 to almost 15% in this election, with over 239,000 people casting ballots compared to 148,685 in 2022.
“Voter engagement and confidence need to be strengthened,” he stated.
Amupitan clarified that no voters were relocated in 2026 in response to public criticism about purported “voter migration” in the FCT.
He clarified that the 2022 voter initiative redistribution was carried out with the goal of increasing access by clearing out 12,000 polling places and constructing more than 56,000 new ones around the country.
In order to alleviate crowding and enhance the voting experience, Amupitan clarified that INEC did not relocate voters to a different neighborhood, stating that the additional PUs were situated within the same building just a few meters from the old ones.
“Approximately 6.7 million voters were redistributed from approximately 12,000 congested polling units to new 17,000 less congested ones across the country in 2022 in order to populate the newly created units, many of which initially had zero registered voters,” he said.
Approximately 580,000 voters were re-distributed to 1,156 polling places in the FCT alone, and 411 polling places were cleared of congestion. In 2022, not 2026, that exercise was conducted four years ago.
“Those polling stations were used by the same FCT voters in the general election of 2023,” he stated.
Amupitan recalled that INEC learned that several voters had complained that their polling places had been moved in 2022 but were having trouble finding the new ones during the mock accreditation on February 7 in the Federal Capital Territory.
The INEC chairman further noted that, before to the election, he quickly ordered that impacted FCT voters receive new emails and texts, particularly those whose polling places were moved in 2022.
He claims that this will act as a reminder so that everyone who is eager to cast a ballot may easily find their polling places, particularly for the benefit of those who were unable to cast a ballot in the general elections of 2023.
The voting Unit Locator at https://cvr.inecnigeria.org/pu was included in the text messages and emails, which could make it easier for them to find the voting place.
In order to allow voters to verify their names prior to the FCT election, he further ordered that the voter register be re-displayed in all impacted polling places for a minimum of four days.
Some voters still had trouble finding their polling places, according to Amupitan, despite extensive advertising, the display of the Register of Voters, and the distribution of emails and texts to impacted people in the days leading up to the election.
“If citizens do not understand our processes, then the objective is only half achieved,” he remarked, indicating that INEC’s policies and objectives may be sound.
Thus, I give all RECs instructions to step up voter education and awareness campaigns in their states. Voter awareness shouldn’t be sporadic. It needs to be uninterrupted.
“The commission’s online Polling Unit Locator at https://cvr.inecnigeria.org/pu should be used by citizens to confirm their polling unit information well in advance of elections.”They ought to personally attend their polling places before to election day, if required.
“We have to start spreading this important information right away so that people who didn’t cast ballots in the general elections in 2023 can find their polling places in advance,” he stated.
