The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has announced that the results of the 2023 general elections will be collated manually despite the adoption of electronic transmission of results.

Speaking on the matter, INEC’s National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, disclosed that the Electoral Act explicitly detailed how collation of results would be done adding that the commission will still transmit results to its result-viewing portal.
