Speaking with the Vanguard, Oyekanmi said the only relationship between the two is that the BVAS is used to transmit polling units’ election results to the IReV at the conclusion of polls.
He, however, denied claims that the glitches experienced with IReV in the February 25 elections impacted negatively on the functionality of the BVAS.
He said: “There is also a provision for the BVAS to transmit the PU result in the offline mode if there is no network at the polling unit at the time of the activity.
“The INEC Result Viewing portal IReV and BVAS are two separate entities, and they are independent of each other”.
“The relationship between the two is that the BVAS is used to transmit the picture of Form EC8A, which is the Polling Unit Result Sheet in PDF format, as well as the Voters’ Accreditation Data to the IREV.
“Therefore, the glitches suffered by the IReV for some hours on 25th February could not have affected the functionality of the BVAS, which in any case, performed its duty excellently on election day.”
