The BVAs technology
The INEC chairman noted the BVAS technology, which witnessed some hitches in the FCT council poll and the Anambra State governorship election, performed optimally in the six by-elections that took place in Imo, Plateau, Cross River and Ondo states recently.
He said this indicated that the commission had improved election technology and this would go a long way in forestalling electoral malpractice.
Yakubu further stated that with the introduction of BVAS, the era of politicians stockpiling Permanent Voters Cards in order to use them on election day is over.
He said:
“The BVAS no longer allows identity theft. It no longer allows those who have warehoused PVCs to use them on election day. Violence has now returned to our polling units and has left the collation centres.”
