The Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) is set to conduct a mock accreditation exercise on the 4th of February.
INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, disclosed this on Friday in a meeting with all 37 Resident Electoral Commissioners in the country.
Yakubu said the exercise is to test the efficacy of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) ahead of the Presidential and National Assembly elections on February 25.
According to him, the machines used for the mock exercise will be reconfigured in preparation for the main elections.
Yakubu, who described the meeting with the resident commissioners as crucial, is using the meeting to inform the commissioners about all the arrangements the Commission has put in place for the exercise.
He also noted that the ongoing distribution of Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) is one issue that the Meeting must look into.
He assured that the Commission will not hesitate to take other measures to ensure that all who registered get their PVCs.
