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.

Okoye said Sections 60 and 62 of the Electoral Act govern post-election procedure and collation of election results.

Section 60(1) of the Act according to him provides that the presiding officer shall, after counting the votes at a polling unit, enter the votes scored by each candidate in a form to be prescribed by the commission.
