Paste, upload elections results, court tells INEC

A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, has ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to electronically transmit the results of the March 18 governorship and House of Assembly elections in line with regulations and guidelines.

Justice Obiora Egwuatu, in a judgment on Friday, also ordered the use of the bimodal voter accreditation system to upload a scanned copy of the EC8A to the INEC result viewing portal immediately after the completion of all the polling unit voting and result procedures in Akwa Ibom.

The judge further directed the commission to conspicuously paste the publication of its result posters EC60(E) at polling units after completing the EC8A result sheets in the state.

He equally ordered INEC to enforce the observance and compliance of Section 27(1) of the Electoral Act, 2022 in the distribution of electoral materials during the conduct of the polls in the state by engaging the services of independent, competent, and reliable logistic companies for the distribution of electoral materials and personnel.
