 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 court added that the only device that must be used by INEC for elections is the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS)


It noted that there’s no regulation showing BVAS must be used to electronically transmit results from polling units.


On the issue of substantial non-compliance with the provisions of the law, especially with regard to non-transmission of result sheets to INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV), the court holds that there is no law that says INEC must transfer or transmit the results of the election from the polling units electronically.


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