This in turn dictated the review of the Manual for Election Officials, 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me draw your attention to the fact that the use of electronic devices such as the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS), INEC Voter Enrolment Device (IVED), INEC Results Viewing Portal (IRev) and other technological devices, are now legally allowed in the accreditation process for voters, collation of results and in the general conduct of elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlease be assured that these innovations are intended to deepen the Electoral Process in our country and their optimal performance in the just concluded governorship election in Ekiti and Osun States is an eloquent testimony to their electoral value. We shall only do more to consolidate their deployment in our election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce again, I wish to assure you that INEC has no preferred party or candidate. We shall only ensure that all valid votes count and the winners are decided solely by the voters,\u201d he assured.<\/p>\n<p>On the lecture, the commission\u2019s boss said: \u201cI hold a conviction that the discussions would be robust and engaging and that party chairmen and members present would be committed to ensuring that the 2023 general election would be devoid of deliberate infractions to the 2022 Electoral Act essentially by allowing the electoral process to run smoothly thereby growing a rich democratic culture and acceptable election outcome.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cINEC will scrupulously apply the laws without fear of favour to ensure a free, fair, credible, inclusive and transparent election come February 2023.
