 Electronic Transmission Of Election Results Optional, Court Rules


The Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal said INEC regulations and the Electoral Act give room for manual collation of results. It said electronic transmission is optional at best.

The law simply empowers INEC to decide the means of collation of results of elections, the court argued.
