The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced that it will conduct a mock accreditation exercise in Anambra State on Saturday, October 25, to test the upgraded Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) ahead of the November governorship election.
According to a statement by the Commission, the exercise will evaluate the BVAS response time and the efficiency of result uploads to the INEC Result Viewing (IReV) portal.
Selected polling units for the test are located in Awka South, Idemili North, Oyi, Anambra East, Aguata, and Orumba North local government areas.
“The mock accreditation exercise will allow INEC to test the upgraded BVAS, assess its response time, and test the uploading of results on the IReV portal ahead of the main election,” the statement noted.
INEC also urged voters in the selected areas to participate actively, noting that their involvement will help the Commission fine-tune its systems before the main poll.
Meanwhile, the collection of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) for newly registered voters will run from Wednesday, October 22, to Sunday, October 26. Voters are advised to collect their PVCs at their original registration areas.
