“In fact, the BVAS will not allow itself to be reconfigured or reset if the entire data is not pushed to the accreditation backend.

“I’m sure that by Tuesday when we hope to complete the resettling of the BVAS for the purposes of the governorship and state assembly elections, the results in all the places where elections were conducted would have been pushed to the accreditation backend.”

He noted that INEC are put measues in place to ensure a hitch-free upload to its Result Viewing Portal saying the ICT department have come up with a way to resolve technical issues ahead of the March 18th elections.
