The upcoming Edo State governorship election represents a pivotal test for Nigeria's Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and its use of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS). As the commission prepares to deploy over 5,000 BVAS devices, the credibility of Nigeria's electoral process is once again in the spotlight. The successful implementation of BVAS is essential, not just for the integrity of this election but for the broader trust in Nigeria's democracy.
