With the 2023 General Elections in Nigeria, the Independent Electoral Commission of Nigeria, INEC created the Results Viewing Portal to enable citizens check results online in real time. This is done through live uploading of the results from the INEC result sheets to the BVAS device by INEC adhoc staff.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is the body responsible for conducting elections in Nigeria. After every election, INEC releases the results of the elections for public viewing. INEC has made it easy for Nigerians to view these results by creating an online platform called the INEC Results Viewing Portal. In this blog post, we will discuss all you need to know about the Inec Results Viewing Portal.
Believed to enhance transparency in the collation and announcement of results, the INEC Results viewing Portal will give Nigerians the opportunity to see live results after compilation and uploading at the various Polling Units.
The Electoral Act was amended and signed into law in February 2022 by President Muhammadu Buhari, allowing INEC to introduce and implement innovations for a further transparent electoral system in Nigeria.
