'Publish BVAS Report Alongside Election Results' - PROMAD, Policy Shapers

Two civic tech organisations, PROMAD and Policy Shapers, have asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to publish the comprehensive report of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) across the country alongside the results of the presidential polls.

In a joint statement signed by Daisi Omokungbe and Ebenezer Wikina, founders of the organisations, Saturday's presidential poll showed the promise of our democracy becoming citizen-driven, participatory, and energetic.  

“However, having keenly watched and read the reports of events in the election, it appears that INEC has not effectively lived up to its obligations and mandate to Nigerians as defined in her 2023 Electoral Guidelines and the 2022 Electoral Act.

"For instance, there are indications of contraventions observed in the processes of the poll across the country, such as late arrival and commencement of voting procedures, relocation of collation centres and failure of the IReV platform,” they added.
