The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has introduced the INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV) to provide Nigerians with real-time access to election results. This digital platform is designed to promote transparency, reduce vote tampering, and allow voters, observers, and stakeholders to monitor elections as results are uploaded directly from polling units.
INEC Result Viewing Portal Enhances Transparency
The INEC Result Viewing Portal provides images of election results from each polling unit. These images show the number of votes cast for each candidate and the overall percentages, ensuring that the process remains open and verifiable. With IReV, voters and observers can monitor ongoing elections and review past results such as those from Ekiti, Osun, and FCT Area Council elections.
