The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Saturday carried out a mock accreditation exercise in preparation for the August 15 Osun State governorship election.
INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, who monitored the exercise, expressed satisfaction with the performance of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), describing the process as largely successful.
He, however, disclosed that an initial challenge was encountered when some old Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) were rejected by the system. According to him, the issue was promptly resolved, allowing the exercise to continue smoothly.
The mock accreditation is part of INEC’s preparations to test the functionality of its election technology and ensure a seamless voting process on election day.
