No Electronic Authentication, No Voting In Anambra, INEC Insists by milann: 7:27am On Sep 07, 2021
The Independent National Electoral Commission ( INEC) has said that eligible voters in the November 6 governorship election in Anambra State must use its new Bimodal Voter Accreditation System ( BVAS ).

Disclosing this , yesterday, in Abuja during the commission ’ s third quarterly meeting with political parties , INEC Chairman, Prof . Mahmood Yakubu, said the move was to eliminate the possibility of voting by identity theft using another person’s
Permanent Voter Card (PVC ).

According to him , many stakeholders, including leaders of political parties , had called on the commission to strengthen the voter accreditation process during elections , especially with reference to the use of incident form, where the Smart Card Reader ( SCR ) failed to authenticate the fingerprints of a voter.

Such concern, Yakubu added, is legitimate, given that the SCR successfully verifies any card that belongs to the polling unit, for which it is configured, irrespective of who presents it.

The INEC boss explained that “ where the fingerprint and facial authentication fail, ” the voter would not be allowed to vote.

“In other words , no electronic authentication, no voting, ” he declared.

The commission expressed its conviction that the new machine is robust enough to further guarantee the credibility of voter authentication and transparent management of results during elections.

It intends to carry out a pilot exercise with the new device in Delta State during the Isoko South 1 State Assembly by -election on Saturday , September 11 , 2021.

“ The BVAS is expected to perform the functions of SCR and Z-Pad in the by -election,” he said.

MEANWHILE , Zenith Labour Party ( ZLP) governorship candidate in the Anambra election , Chief Obiora Okonkwo , has promised to touch people’ s lives in the state, to serve as launchpad for the re - invention of Nigeria.

While delivering the 2021 Dr . Sam Ekpelle Memorial Gold Paper Lecture organised by the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations ( NIPR) , yesterday , in Asaba, Delta State, the ZLP flag -bearer said he was committed to Nigeria ’ s unity , despite the present security, economic and other challenges.

He, however, noted that there must be fairness and justice to sustain unity and peace.

Okonkwo also expressed his determination to add value to people’ s lives as governor, even as there were limits to what he could do as a private person to positively transform lives.

According to him, private individuals with enviable records of success in their endeavours cannot continue to cede the political space to persons who have nothing to offer other than to loot public treasuries .

The lecture entitled ‘ Reinventing Nigeria ’ s Unity for Global Relevance in the 21 st Century: Issues of Identity , Governance, and Stability” also featured the investiture of Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, as NIPR patron.

this seems to be between APGA and Apc

Pdp is lost in this election
Oga ndi Oga is even grassrooting more than them
I wonder their plans
they should have given the Doctor ticket and watch a landslide victory.

on the other hand Andy is solely hoping in buhari rigging but he should know that Anambra is not a place you can rig election with unpopular party like Apc.
Las Las there might be a supreme court governor in Anambra state

Ifeanyi Uba?
he should forget it

alot of vote splitting in this election
it'll be all about lobbying each other on the D day because alot of heavy weight is contesting

You should, or else you will keep unconsciously enabling or handing power to corrupt lots. Not taking an action is an action itself, to make the country better we all have a role to play and yes, voting is good way to elect good leaders.

You can register or modify your voter details online - cvr.inecnigeria.org

Sincerely, that’s the irony of it all. As much as possible, we should keep up with the voter education. They don’t know their inaction have consequences.

INEC Nigeria is the most useless and inconsistent organisation. INEC hardly abides by its own guidelines and will not support this position in post election litigation, that is why I will always advise politicians to rig or be rigged out, INEC supports the best rigger even if your rigging is contrary to their guidelines. A friend of mine was in election petition tribunal challenging the malpractice and non use of electronic authentication which INEC said was mandatory and the only means to get accredited on the voters register. He proved clearly that in the Federal Constituency which he contested, while INEC records show only about 14,000 people were electronically authenticated which means that the number of voters who had their PVC read electronically and qualified to vote, INEC returned more than 30,000 votes. INEC lawyers argued gladly that electronic authentication/ verification prior to voting is not known to law and the useless tribunal members agreed. That is how this guy was openly rigged out. INEC goes to court to deny the legality of the aspect of its own guidelines yet want people to follow the guidelines
