The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has deployed 3,345 Bimodal Voter Accreditation Systems (BVAS) across all polling units for the upcoming Federal Capital Territory area councils election. This deployment, as announced by INEC Chairman Prof. Joash Amupitan at a stakeholders’ forum, aims to enhance transparency by allowing results to be systematically uploaded to the Result Viewing portal. Furthermore, the commission is focused on establishing a credible electoral process to ensure that the elections are conducted in a peaceful manner.

In his address at the forum, Amupitan emphasized the INEC's commitment to integrity in the electoral process and outlined the preparations being made to uphold this principle. The presence of operatives from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission was highlighted as a strategy to combat vote trading and other electoral infractions. He warned that any individual involved in buying or selling votes would face legal consequences, underscoring their zero-tolerance policy on electoral misconduct.

The forum has set the stage for a significant electoral event, with additional measures including the deployment of 1,132 vehicles and 620 motorcycles to ensure efficient mobilization and observation during the election. These efforts signify a robust approach by the electoral commission to bolster public confidence in the electoral process in Nigeria's capital, reflecting a critical step toward democratic participation and accountability in governance.
