The Independent National Electoral Commission,INEC, says it will conduct a mock accreditation using the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and upload of polling units results to the INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV), for the forthcoming off-cycle Governorship elections in Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi States scheduled for Saturday 11th November 2023.

The commission, at the end of its meeting on Monday in Abuja, resolved that the test run will take place simultaneously in the three States on Saturday 14th October, 2023 from 8.30am to 2.30pm.

A statement by the National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Sam Olumekun, said a maximum of three polling units in each Senatorial District have been identified across each of the three States, covering a total of nine Senatorial districts and 27 polling units.

According to the statement, lessons learnt from the exercise will be taken into consideration in ensuring a seamless process on election day.

It appealed to registered voters in the selected polling units to turn up with their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) for the exercise while reminding them that the exercise is strictly a test accreditation and not the actual election.

Full details of the polling units, including their locations by Local Government Area (LGA), Registration Area (RA)/Ward, Delimitation Code and number of registered voters have been uploaded to INEC website and social media platforms.
