The INEC chairman stated that the results of the elections that will be transmitted to the INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV) cannot be changed by hackers while speaking about how the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) works.

He said: “We are not transmitting raw figures. The law doesn’t allow for electronic transmission of results. Raw figures transmitted online are more susceptible to hacking whereas an image of a document is not susceptible to hacking and we have had experience conducting this over a long period of time.

“We have done this in 105 bye and off-cycle elections using this system of electronic transmission of results.”
