The Electoral Commission (EC) has indicated that the electronic transmission system adopted by the Commission for the transmission of the election results in the 2016 general elections may have been compromised.<\/p>\n
The Commission\u2019s Chairperson, Charlotte Osei, explained that the EC has thus\u00a0advised its officers to resort to the\u00a0manual transmission of results.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”PiTYhJhaS8sfGTzHKOcQiQkvQWhVSy8Z”]Addressing the press at the EC’s headquarters on Thursday evening,\u00a0she revealed that \u201cunfortunately we\u2019ve had challenges with our electronic results system. We had reason to believe the system had been compromised and we advised our returning officers at the collating centres to stop using it and revert solely to the manual process.\u201d<\/p>\n
