2027: INEC IREV glitch in 2023 won surface again – Amupitan

AI Summary

INEC Chairman Prof Joash Amupitan told participants at a Citizens Town Hall Meeting in Abuja that the IREV glitch experienced in the 2023 election has been eliminated and will not recur. He linked this assurance to the recent passage of the Electoral Act, 2022 (Repeal and Re‑Enactment) Bill 2026, which was signed into law by President Bola Tinubu. The statement underscores INEC’s confidence in the electronic transmission system for future elections, including the 2027 general election, while retaining manual collation as a backup.
