INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu opened the collation center and established ground rules for election results collation.

“The collation centre is hereby declared open until the final announcement of the results of the 2023 presidential election,” he said.

Mahmood also said the collation of presidential election results will be done at four levels — first at the 8,889 wards, then at the 774 local government areas, then the state collation officers for the presidential election (SCOPs) at the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory will submit the votes per candidate in Abuja.
