Troubleshooting INEC?s Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS)
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Computer Science
Abstract
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) developed the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) to increase the efficiency and reliability of the voter accreditation procedure. However, since its deployment, a number of challenges have surfaced, including technological difficulties, worries about security, the dependability and accuracy of biometric data, and insufficient training. These difficulties are highlighted in this seminar, along with some potential remedies. Technical issues must be fixed through routine maintenance, software updates, and backup systems in order to address these concerns. To increase the accuracy of biometric identification, technological and data validation system investments are required. Comprehensive training programs for election officials and voter education efforts can overcome insufficient training. To ensure the accuracy of biometric data, security measures such strong encryption and authentication should be put in place. By resolving these concerns, INEC can encourage an election that is more efficient, credible, and transparent while boosting democracy and public confidence in Nigeria's electoral system.
