Nigeria’s 2023 election is experiencing record-breaking voter participation and high voter confidence.
The implementation of technology in the electoral process, such as the INEC Election Result Viewer may be one of the reasons.
The INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV) is a platform created by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Nigeria to provide real-time transmission of election results from polling units to the central collation center. It was designed to enhance the transparency of the electoral process and reduce the incidence of vote rigging and election manipulation.
The IReV platform allows voters and other interested parties to monitor the electoral process and view the results of ongoing elections in real time. The portal provides pictures of the election results from each polling unit, including the number of votes cast for each candidate and the percentage of total votes cast.
