The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has carried out a test run of the anticipated electronic voting system in Nigeria.

At its headquarters in Abuja on Monday, Mahmood Yakubu, INEC chairman, said 40 companies who indicated interest in the process “will demonstrate how their IT solutions meet our specifications”.

He described the initiative as “another giant step” in the INEC’s continuous effort to “deepen electoral integrity in Nigeria through the deployment of technology”.
