The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said with the introduction of the Bimodal Voter Authentication System (BVAS), the issue of identity theft and other election frauds would be addressed during the 2023 general election.

Umar Ibrahim, the resident electoral commissioner for Gombe, stated this during a stakeholders’ meeting on the preparations for the 2023 general election held in Gombe on Wednesday.

Mr Ibrahim said the credibility of the 2023 general elections remained a top priority for the commission, hence the introduction of improved technology in recent elections to enhance the electoral processes.

According to him, with BVAS only voters will determine who wins elections in the country.

“I assure the good people of Gombe state that the days of identity theft during elections are over and only voters can determine the winner of elections in this country,” said Mr Ibrahim. “There is no doubt the deployment of technology has greatly improved the conduct of elections in this country over the years. During the 2023 general elections, the commission will be deploying the BVAS for accreditation of voters and transmission of results.”

The REC said Gombe had received the full complement of BVAS required for the conduct of the 2023 general election.

Mr Ibrahim assured residents of Gombe that INEC was ready to conduct credible elections, adding that 10 out of the 14 outlined activities had been carried out.

He appealed to all stakeholders to play their roles towards ensuring the smooth conduct of the 2023 elections.

“The conduct of credible elections is not the responsibility of INEC alone; free, fair, credible, peaceful, all-inclusive and accountable elections are a product of concerted efforts by all stakeholders. I urge you to join us in discouraging PVC selling/buying and vote selling/buying in the strongest terms as it stands against democratic norms and principles,” he said.

Speaking further on BVAS, Bitson Simon, the head of the department of information and communications technology and voter registry in INEC’s Gombe office, said BVAS was introduced by INEC as a solution to the inadequacies of the card readers used in previous elections.

He said with BVAS, frauds perpetrated on election day would no longer be possible, adding, “election by proxy will not be possible with BVAS.”
