IReV Portal
The IReV portal is a repository of uploaded results sheets from all polling units.
INEC requires all presiding officers in each polling unit to upload the results sheet to the IReV portal using the Bimodal Voters Accreditation system ( BVAS) machine. The BVAS machine is also used to accredit voters, automatically upload the number of accredited voters in each polling unit.
In cases where the result sheet uploaded by the presiding officer shows a higher number of accredited voters than what the BVAS recorded , INEC thrashes results of such polling units.
