The Independent National Electoral Commission says contrary to reports making the rounds, it has not discarded the electronic transmission of election results.
Spokesman to the commission, Festus Okoye, says INEC is not contemplating a revert to the manual process of result transmission.
Mr Okoye says the confusion regarding what method has been adopted stems from a recent short interview granted to a national newspaper on the procedure for result management during elections.
The INEC Commissioner reassured Nigerians that the electronic transmission of results has come to stay adding that this method further boosts the credibility and transparency of the electoral process when citizens follow polling unit level results on the INEC Result Viewing portal in real-time on Election Day.
