To achieve this, at least one electorate from all 176,846 polling units across the federation is required to pre-register on the platform before Saturday and upload election results at their polling unit in real-time, serving as a source of reference for evidence against result tampering. It was disclosed that Collate aims to have robust, documented and centralized data of all polling unit results in all states in real-time. The platform known as Collate is an open and crowdsourced online result collation and viewing platform (ReV) built to aid transparency in the exercise.
