Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
  • All is set for the November 11 governorship election in Bayelsa
  • Most non-sensitive materials for the election are already in local government areas

INEC reiterated its intention to employ the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) for voter accreditation and result transmission during the upcoming November 11 governorship election in Bayelsa.

This confirmation was provided by Resident Electoral Commissioner Obo Effanga during a press conference held at the INEC office in Yenagoa on Thursday.

Effanga reported that nearly all non-sensitive materials required for the election were already located within the local government areas. He further clarified that sensitive materials, upon arrival, would be securely stored at the Central Bank of Nigeria.

“Nothing has changed with the process of election in Nigeria. We are still going to conduct elections based on the provisions of the Constitution, Electoral Act and guidelines of INEC. After voting at the polling units, the votes will be counted there,” stated Mr Effanga. “They will be recorded in the physical result sheet. We will use the BVAS to take a snapshot of the results. They will be taken to the collation centre where the results are authenticated and the photograph that was taken will be uploaded onto the result viewing portal.”

The INEC official added, “Then from there, we move from the wards collation to the local government collation. From the local government collation, we come to the state collation centre. That is when the final collation is done, and the result is announced, and a winner is declared.”

Mr Effanga promised that INEC would strictly follow the guidelines for the election.

“Every vote will count. We will ensure that every personnel sent to the field are adequately qualified and knowledgeable about the processes of election. We will not interfere in any way to aid or assist anyone,” pledged the INEC commissioner. “Anybody that wants to win the election should be talking to the voters.”
