Onuoha emphasized that INEC has prepared for contingencies by providing 660 backup Bimodal Voter Accreditation Systems (BVAS). “We have trained the operators for the BVAS. They are set. BVAS is to accredit the voters, to know the total number of voters that will vote at that level, that pulling unit,” he explained.

When asked if all election results would be transmitted electronically, Onuoha confirmed, “Yes, unless there is no network in that place. If not, it will. We will transmit it.”
