INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu stated this while addressing media executives on Tuesday in Abuja. IVED is the commission’s new voter enrolment and voter verification device.
“Their apprehension, therefore, is that by using the incident form to cover those whose fingerprints are not authenticated by the SCR, a voter may be able to use another person’s PVC to vote during an election.” He said that the functionality of the Z-pad had now been integrated into the IVED currently used for voter registration.
Yakubu said that the commission intended to carry out a pilot exercise using the new device in Delta during the Isoko South 1 State Assembly constituency by-election holding on Saturday Sept. 11“Thereafter, it will be deployed in the Anambra Governorship election in November,” Yakubu added. “Reactions that trailed that from Nigerians clearly show that they operated at variance to opinions of most Nigerians.
INEC Director of Information and Communications Technology , Chidi Nwafor, in his presentation on the new device, said that the IVED had nothing to do with transmission of election results but for voter’s authentication and accreditation. He said that with the new technology voter verification could be done via finger print or face recognition while the card could also be read through back-code.He added that the device would make voter verification faster, saying the maximum time for a voter verification would be 30 seconds on the average.
