The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it will carry out a mock accreditation exercise on the 4th of February.
The exercise according to the commission will be carried out to test the efficacy of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) ahead of the Presidential and National Assembly elections on February 25.
Chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, disclosed this during a meeting with all the 37 Resident Electoral Commissioners in the country on Friday, January 27.
He said the machines used for the mock exercise will be reconfigured in preparation for the main elections.
Mahmood noted that the ongoing distribution of Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) is one issue INEC officials must look into.
He added that the Commission will not hesitate to take other measures to ensure that all who registered get their PVCs.
