Osun election: IReV just viewing centre, not adding machine – INEC

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has clarified that its Results Viewing Portal, IReV, is intended solely for the public display of polling unit results and not for the automatic collation or addition of election results. INEC National Commissioner, Prof. Kunle Ajayi, emphasized that the portal is not an "adding machine" and cannot perform such functions.

Ajayi assured Nigerians that all results from the Osun State governorship election would be uploaded to the IReV portal, with improvements expected in the commission's performance in transmitting results. The commissioner clarified that individuals, groups, and institutions could independently collate the results displayed on IReV by adding the figures from polling units, but the key point is that the results transmitted to IReV may differ from those initially recorded at the polling units.
