How the evidence chain works

Keep the source, the review and every correction together.

Capture is the first step. Nigeria Elects preserves the submitted form, records human review and publishes a clear platform status.

1

Capture a clear EC8A form

A trained contributor or citizen submits the full form. Simple guidance helps avoid clipped or unreadable images.

2

Preserve the submitted original

The source stays unchanged. Its identity, receipt and later history remain connected.

3

Assist the reading

The system suggests the polling-unit code and figures. It does not make them official.

4

Check every value

A person compares the suggestions with the visible form and confirms or corrects them.

5

Hold uncertainty for review

Unclear values, duplicates and conflicting evidence stay unresolved until a person reviews them.

6

Publish with a clear status

Each platform transcription remains linked to its form, review decision and correction history.

What automation does

Help people work faster. Never invent certainty.

Checks the image

Guides the contributor when the form is unclear.

Suggests readings

Keeps the form visible while a person checks.

Stops on doubt

Sends uncertainty to review instead of guessing.

Demonstration

Built-in samples show the workflow. Nothing is submitted or published.

Public proof run

We announce the scope, run the test, publish the gaps and improve.

Live evidence

Reviewed evidence appears with its source and platform status clearly labelled.
