The Independent National Electoral Commission said its Bi-Modal Voter Accreditation System and the INEC Result Viewing Portal are not scams.
INEC’s Director of Information and Communication Technology, Dr Lawrence Bayode, made this clarification during a conversation organised by the commission on X on Saturday in Abuja.
In his presentation, titled “BVAS and IREV: Facts and Myths,” Bayode said both BVAS and IREV were technological innovations aimed at enhancing the electoral process.
He emphasised that INEC had taken bold steps and made concerted efforts to improve the credibility, transparency, and accuracy of elections through technology.
Bayode described BVAS and IREV as key components of Nigeria’s election process, noting that various misconceptions had created doubts about their functions.
“There is a belief that BVAS and IREV are scams.
“This misconception arises from misunderstandings, technical issues, and general distrust in the electoral process. However, this belief is incorrect,” he said.
