“We have trained the operators for the BVAS. They are set. BVAS is to accredit the voters and to know the total number of voters that will vote at that level and that polling unit.
“After that, the voters will start voting. At the end of the day, they will count the results, and it will be uploaded to our IReV,” he assured.
