INEC urged regulatory bodies in the area of security and the media to scale up enforcements in order to safeguard the electoral process.As part of efforts to strengthen its election management process and enhance the transparency of the system, the INEC has approved the introduction of a portal to allow Nigerians view polling units results in real-time before they are collated.
