Imo, Kogi And Bayela Elections Results To Be Uploaded On IReV – INEC

The Independent National Electoral Election (INEC) has said election results from Imo, Bayelsa and Kogi state will uploaded on IReV.

Resident Electoral Commission ( REC), Dr Gabriel Longpet, gave the assurance in Lokoja, the state capital at a media briefing on the level of preparation of the commission, on Friday.

He disclosed that 1.83 million persons who collected their permanent voters cards (PVCs) are expected to vote in Saturday’s off-cycle governorship election in Kogi State.

He said:

“We have delivered all sensitive and non-sensitive materials for the elections. The Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) have been configured for deployment to Polling Units as the only means of voter verification and fingerprint/facial biometric authentication of voters.”

“Polling Unit results will be uploaded to the INEC Result Viewing (IReV) portal. All election duty officials have been trained.

“Arrangements have been made for land and maritime transportation to enable us commence voting on schedule.

“In spite of the extremely difficult terrain and physical infrastructure in some locations, we are determined to ensure that our officials are there waiting for voters rather than the voters waiting for our arrival”.

However, the REC warned both INEC staff and Ad-hoc staff working during this election to avoid all forms of illegality, anyone caught will be full prosecuted.

“For these off-cycle elections, the Commission is deploying two (2) National Commissioners, nine (9) Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) and Administrative Secretaries (ASs) as well as additional staff from different States to each of the three States to support the process. They will be deployed across the senatorial zones in the States”, he said.
