Nigeria’s Senate has approved the electronic transmission of election results to the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) result viewing portal, known as IReV, while retaining manual collation as a backup in cases where technology fails.
The decision followed a reconsideration of a disputed clause in the Electoral Act Amendment Bill during Tuesday’s plenary session.
However, lawmakers stopped short of making electronic transmission compulsory and also rejected proposals requiring real-time uploading of results.
