The Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), has said it will upload election results from the 5,634 polling units to its result-viewing portal in Saturday’s governorship poll in Anambra State.
INEC also said collation of results would be done manually as obtained in previous elections and not with the uploaded results.
The commission expressed confidence that the technological approach, designed to enhance transparency in the election management process, would boost people’s confidence in elections and enable Nigerians to view polling unit results in real time as voting ends.
INEC’s National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, had told newsmen on Thursday that after the commission converted 1,112 voting points to full-fledged polling units, the total polling units in the state rose to 5,720.
