How the 2023 general elections was systematically compromised.
- Irrespective of how sharp the snapped result is, the BVAS degrades it to a very poor quality file.
- All units had to do offline login, instead of online. Thus, the PU results were not submitted directly to the inec server.
- In many areas, the number of accredited voters could not be exported. Instead, the error message in the image below popped up.
- The SIM network used was unreliable, voters used WiFi
5 @inecnigeria Adhoc staff were not trained. They struggled with navigating the BVAS, they struggled with simple numeracy – computing total ballots issued vs total ballots unused.
In fact, many POs came to the field with ballots less than the number of voters on the register
- What we have seen is a systematic rigging of the elections. This was planned long before candidates chose their party. A broken system was designed to favour the ruling party.
