BREAKING: Senate approves electronic transmission of results, permits manual upload as backup

Published

The senate has approved the electronic transmission of election results to the Independent National Electoral Commission’s result viewing portal (IReV), while allowing manual collation to serve as a fallback where technology fails.

The decision followed a reconsideration of a controversial provision in the Electoral Act Amendment Bill during Tuesday’s plenary.

The upper chamber, however, failed to make the process mandatory and also rejected real-time uploads of election results. (The Cable)
