Nigerians are set to witness a groundbreaking shift in electoral transparency as SoftSmart Enterprise Solutions announces the deployment of its real-time, AI-powered results system for the upcoming Anambra Governorship Election scheduled for November 8th.

The technology, which will be used to process results from 5,720 polling units across 326 electoral wards and 21 local government areas, promises to deliver Nigeria’s first live, AI-driven election night experience.

According to the company, the system will read and process official result forms (EC8A) uploaded to the INEC IReV portal, updating live dashboards on television, web, and mobile platforms within seconds.

“This is a new kind of election night for Nigeria,” said Charles Goriola Yakubu, Managing Director of SoftSmart Enterprise Solutions.

“Citizens will watch results come in live—polling unit by polling unit and the same results collated in real time, restoring trust in our democracy through transparency, speed, and accuracy. This is not just technology; it’s accountability in action.”

He added that the platform’s EC8A AI Upload Engine is designed to extract and validate data from result sheets, cross-check polling unit codes and vote tallies, flag anomalies, and ensure human-supervised verification.

Each form is processed in under 30 seconds with over 95% accuracy, compressing what used to take days into instant, verifiable updates.

Mr. Yakubu says the system will help reduce post-election tension, provide political parties with real-time data, and reinforce INEC’s credibility through transparent automation.

He added that the platform runs on AES-256 encrypted data storage, offers full audit trails, and maintains 99.9% uptime, ensuring uninterrupted live broadcast performance.

Beyond results, the system includes an Election Night Analytics Suite that mirrors international broadcast standards.

It will generate trend projections, regional performance breakdowns, and turnout estimates using live data. Anchors and analysts will also have access to interactive dashboards that visualize vote shifts and present candidate profiles, party histories, and policy highlights.

“This fusion of AI-driven analytics and visual storytelling gives Nigerians not just numbers, but context—empowering informed commentary and restoring trust in electoral reporting,” Yakubu added.
