Festus Okoye, national commissioner for INEC and chairman of the committee for information and voter education, announced that the evaluation would begin on July 4 and last until August 5, 2023.
The review will pay particular attention to all facets of the electoral operations before, during, and after the elections, according to Okoye, who made this disclosure in a statement on Thursday, June 22.

Okoye claims that since 2011, INEC has had review meetings following each general election.

He clarified that the review’s purpose is to draw conclusions from the elections and map out the future.

The statement reads:

“The review will commence with a meeting of the resident electoral commissioners (RECs) on 4th July 2023 and end with the commission’s retreat on 5th August 2023.

“At state level, the internal review will involve the commission’s regular and ad hoc staff, including RECs, the 774 electoral officers, heads of departments, administrative secretaries as well as some presiding officers and collation/returning officers.

“The external engagement will involve critical stakeholders such as political parties, security agencies, election observers, the media and service providers such as transporters that facilitated the movement of personnel and materials for the election.

“The review will focus on all aspects of the electoral activities before, during and after the elections. Specifically, the commission welcomes actionable recommendations from stakeholders towards strengthening institutional capacity for the discharge of its responsibilities and the enhancement of processes and procedures.”
