As the gubernatorial election for Edo and Ondo States draw closer, The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has unveiled a portal where election results from polling units can be viewed in real time.

In a statement on Thursday, Mr Festus Okoye, INEC spokesman, said the portal will strengthen the transparency in the election result management system.
He said that the Nasarawa central state constituency election which holds this Saturday will kick off the use of the portal after which it will also be deployed in Edo and Ondo governorship polls.

The spokesman however, said that INEC will not adopt electronic collation of results as collation of election results will still remain a manual process as provided by the law.
The result sheet can be assessed on the INEC results viewing portal (IReV) after the registration process has been completed.

Management of results in previous elections has been a major source of concern in Nigeria’s electoral process, with some parties often the results at the end of collation.
This, INEC is determined to nip it in the bud as it is a fundamental principle of democracy that in elections, votes are not only correctly counted, but that they also count.”

The statement reads in part: “The Commission has decided to introduce a dedicated public portal, the INEC RESULT VIEWING (IReV), that will enable Nigerians to view Polling Unit results real time as the voting ends on election day,” the statement read.

“The Commission wishes to emphasize that this does not constitute electronic collation of results. The collation of election results shall remain as provided for by law, a manual process of completion of relevant result sheets and their upwards collation until the final results are determined.

“The Commission hopes that this innovation would improve the transparency in election result management and therefore further consolidate public confidence in the electoral process.”
