2023 guber election: INEC releases fresh information on BVAS availability, plan for result transmission
The Independent National Electoral Commission has assured that reconfiguring the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System machines used during the February 25 presidential and National Assembly election will end on Monday, March 13.
The electoral body began the re-configuration of the BVAS in preparation for the governorship and the state House of Assembly elections, which were postponed from Saturday, March 11 to Saturday, March 18, immediately after the court judgment permitting INEC to reconfigure the machines.
INEC had rescheduled the election after explaining that the commission would not be able to meet up with its activities for the election as reconfiguring the BVAS would take up to five days.
An official of INEC who spoke on the issue confirmed that the reconfiguration of the BVAS has been completed in some states while others will be concluded on Monday, March 13.
