The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has
dismissed reports that it would adopt a manual collation of results during the
2023 general elections.
Reports had emerged that INEC had abandoned the electronic
transmission of results and reverted to the manual process ahead of the 2023
election.
However, INEC, in a statement by its National Commissioner
and Chairman of its Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, on
Sunday, said the report was false.
The statement read in part, “The Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) 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 process 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 elections.”
