INEC starts manual and electronic collation at Kubwa centre
Collation Officers from the Independent National Electoral Commission have started both manual and electronic collation of results at the Kubwa Registration Area Centre after voting ended in the FCT Area Council Elections. The process began after Presiding Officers gathered at the LEA Primary School, Kubwa II, to enter results into the official form EC8A. The hybrid approach is being used to ensure the results uploaded to the INEC Results Viewing Portal match those on the manual forms. Mrs Okoye Adeiza explained that both Operations and ICT teams are working together to confirm and match the results from the polling units.
