The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has assured that the nature of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) will make it impossible for any one to manipulate electronic transmission of results.
BVAS is an electronic device designed to read Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and authenticate voters.
The Special Adviser to the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, Prof. Mohammad Kuna gave the assurance at a two-day workshop on Tuesday.
The event was organised by the National Peace Committee (NPC) headed by a former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar (retd) and The Kukah Centre with the theme, “The role and impact of Digital Technologies in facilitating Peaceful Elections in Nigeria”.
“With the nature of BVAS, the uploaded polling units (PUs) results cannot be manipulated. The machine was designed to edit the photographic results uploaded and sent to the INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV); and once sent cannot be recalled,” Kuna said.
