These include 192 ward centers, 18 local government centers, and the state collation center in Benin City.
“More than 5,000 BVAS devices will be deployed for the Edo State governorship election,” the official said.
On April 27, INEC announced a mock voter accreditation exercise for September 10, 2024, in Edo State.
This trial is designed to test the deployment of the BVAS machines and the electronic result upload process to the INEC Result Viewing portal.
Additionally, the commission confirmed that the installation and configuration of the BVAS machines for the election day have been completed.
