One of the biggest challenges in building osun.mundx.com, beyond setting up the data pipeline, was OCR.
Polling-unit result sheets are handwritten, then photographed and uploaded to IReV. The handwriting, image quality, lighting, angles, and compression meant that imply weren’t reliable enough.
We tested several of the leading LLMs and eventually settled on a dual-model consensus approach: two different models independently read each result sheet, and a vote total is accepted only when both models agree.
Even with that safeguard, we knew there would still be a small chance of incorrectly reading some polling-unit results.
Before Osun, we tested the system using results from Ekiti and Anambra, and the results gave us enough confidence to deploy it at scale.
Now that INEC has announced the official results for all 30 LGAs in Osun, we can finally compare the official statewide collation with what Mundx independently produced from polling-unit results uploaded to IReV.
The result is encouraging:
Mundx’s polling-unit tally was about 95.68% accurate compared with the final INEC statewide results, despite having only 97.77% of polling units included in its count.
That means an automated, LLM-based system was able to get remarkably close to the final official result while working from an incomplete set of polling-unit uploads and doing so much faster and more cost-efficiently than manual collation.
This has reinforced something we strongly believed while building the system: LLM-based OCR is incredibly powerful, especially for documents that traditional OCR struggles with.
There is still more work to do. We will continue strengthening the validation layers, improving how the system handles difficult result sheets and edge cases, and making the platform even more resilient ahead of 2027.
Thank you to everyone who followed the project, tested the platform, shared feedback, and sent kind words throughout the election.
Congratulations Governor Adeleke.

Good to see Seun finally giving this issue visibility after over a week of public concern. The media should lead on accountability, not play catch-up.
We expect better, Seun.

“As of today, the voters register is not on INEC’s website or any official website. INEC owes Nigerians and stakeholders an official statement. This silence does not inspire confidence.”
— Samson Itodo, Executive Director, YIAGA AFRICA, on INEC’s inability to publish the voters the voters register is not subject to INEC’s discretion.

Somehow, I knew INEC wasn’t going to publish the voters’ register on its website, so I started raising the alarm even before the display began at the registration areas.
I followed up with multiple tweets and even emails to INEC. Crickets.
INEC is playing with fire. 🔥

I hope the voter register will also be published on your website, in accordance with the provisions of the Electoral Act. Not everybody is able to go to the RA centers.

Every election conducted this year under Prof. Joash Amupitan that @mundx_analytics independently collated from IReV matched INEC’s official declaration with nearly 100% accuracy.
That is exactly how it should be.
In 2027, if INEC’s declarations differ significantly from IReV results, it will raise serious suspicions of manipulation during collation. INEC will have a lot of explaining to do. The burden will be on them.

"It is INEC that has the powers to declare results at all levels, because the result will still go through various processes of collation." - Amupitan
Can individuals and political parties make IReV data public using AI? INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan (SAN) clarifies the g AI collation, IReV access, and why premature declarations can be dangerously misleading.

Did the Independent National Electoral Commission miss a mandatory legal deadline for the 2027 elections?
The voters' register is the foundation of any free election. But recent reports suggest a significant breach of the newly enacted Electoral Act 2026.
Section 19(1) of the dates the dual display of the voters' register – physically and on the INEC website for a period of 7 days, at least 90 days to a general election for the purpose of public scrutiny.

I didn’t believe it when I heard Festus Okoye say this on TV. I had to go and check the Electoral Act myself, and he was right. I am shocked!
Under Nigeria’s Electoral Act 2026, INEC controls the prosecution of offences under the Act, even when its own officials are involved.
se? Who holds INEC accountable?
And Nigeria’s political parties? What a complete joke!
How can you claim to want credible elections and still allow INEC to control the prosecution of its own officials?
What a disgrace!

Once again, @inecnigeria should upload BVAS accreditation records to the IReV portal.
75 result sheets from the Edo 2024 governorship election show more votes than the number of accredited voters.
Who benefited from the over-voting?

Am I overthinking this? Because I am genuinely struggling to understand what is happening in Nigeria.
@inecnigeria has disregarded the Electoral Act by failing to publish the voters’ register online for public scrutiny, even after the statutory 90-day deadline has passed.
Even under Mahmood Yakubu, the register was published online, with a mechanism for complaints and objections.
Today, NOTHING!
And somehow, the country has moved on like nothing happened.
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?
Apart from @ARISEtv and @fijnigeria, where is the Nigerian media?
Where are @YIAGA, @EUinNigeria @EU_SDGN , @NDI and the other civil society organisations?
@NigeriaNDCHQ .@ADCNig ARE YOU PEOPLE SLEEPING? Are you actually preparing for this election?
This is the voters’ register we are talking about. THE VERY FOUNDATION OF AN ELECTION!
INEC has effectively said, “To hell with public scrutiny. Do your worst.”
And our collective response is SILENCE.
I am genuinely pained.
We complain about electoral malpractice and compromised institutions, yet when it is time to demand accountability BEFORE an election, everybody suddenly goes quiet.
Must we wait until votes are cast and results are disputed before we start shouting?
Seriously, am I the only one who finds this silence deeply disturbing?

INEC’s refusal to publish the voters’ register online is deliberate.
They know that people like us will scrutinise the data, identify irregularities, and ask difficult questions.
But there is another troubling possibility: keeping the register away from public scrutiny l value for those who may be willing to pay for access.
Once the data is publicly available, that advantage disappears.
Is INEC protecting the integrity of the voters’ register, or protecting a monopoly over access to it?

If that APC INEC chairman can openly break the law by refusing to publish voters register online, we have to begin the #RigandDie2027 from their offices.

The last 5 states are battlegrounds.
Only one candidate won a state by more than 50 points in 2023: Peter Obi, in Anambra, Enugu, Abia, Ebonyi and Imo.
Tinubu's biggest win was Ondo, at 46.
