INEC Announced 4 Measures That Will Prevent Electoral Fraud in 2023
As the 2023 election draws nearer, the National Electoral Commission (INEC), has stated that the bijiro and other four steps it conducted have confirmed that there is no way to rig the 2023 election.
The first step is to identify the person who has registered to own a voting card twice or more, that is 'Biomodal Voter Accreditation System' (BVAS).
The second step is to use the INEC Voter Enrollment Device (IVED). This system is for the treatment of vote stealers or ballot box thieves.
Then the third step that INEC said it is working on, is the software for collecting election results that everyone can see, which is INEC Result Viewing Portal (IRVP).
Speaking at a meeting to inspire the youth on the importance of elections, organized by Yiaga Africa in Enugu, INEC Assistant Secretary Engineer Chidi Nwafor, said the 2022 Electoral Act is the fourth measure to prevent electoral fraud.
There are 116 days left for the election of the President, the Federal House of Representatives, and the Senate.
If not forgotten, at the beginning of October the Chairman of the National Electoral Commission, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, confirmed that fraud will not be possible in the 2023 elections.
In the article, he said that INEC has come up with ways to kill electoral fraud.
As the National Electoral Commission (INEC) continues with plans to conduct the 2023 elections, the Chairman of the Commission, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, has expressed his confidence that INEC has succeeded in blocking any door that could be rigged in the 2023 elections.
He was speaking at an event organized at the Church of St. James of Angalika Church in Asokoro, Abuja a few days ago, Yakubu said that INEC achieved this great success through the creation of a system to verify the registered voter, that is BVAS.
Yakubu, who was represented by INEC's Deputy Publicity and Publicity Spokesperson, Chukwuemeka Ugboaja, said that the process of determining the number of registered people is the wisdom and skill of INEC engineers that led them to create it.
He then said that BVAS will strengthen INEC to ensure that it organizes a fair election, which cannot be rigged during the election.
"The second thing that will increase the validity of the 2023 election is the new 2022 Electoral Act. Section 9 (6) empowers INEC to stop registering people 90 days before the election. dungurugum registration filter.
"And people should understand that INEC cannot cancel the registration of anyone. But it has the power to cancel the registration of those who have registered twice.
"The third way to put an end to electoral fraud is to send the results of the election directly through modern communication devices from the polling booth.
"Then Section 51 of the 2021 Electoral Act, shows the rejection of the results of the election where the number of votes cast in the box exceeds the number of those who have been assessed by the BVAS system.
"Then in the 2023 election, the new 2023 Electoral Law forbids INEC to accept the results that the election officer was forced to declare the results of the election."
He cited the example of the Imo State senatorial election in 2019, in which even though the INEC official was forced to read the election results, the court accepted the results. He said that now under the new election law, this is not possible.
In the end, he called on the elders and educated people living in the cities to be strong and go out and cast their votes on election day.
He expressed his concern that urban dwellers, especially those with good character and intellectuals, do not come to vote, even though they know the importance of voting.
