INEC is statutorily empowered to conduct elections into the six area councils of the territory. The councils are; Abaji, Kwali, Kuje, Gwagwalada, Bwari and Abuja Municipal.

The commission, in a statement on Friday by its National Commissioner and Chairman Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, said changes had been made to the Uniform Resource Locator.

The portal allows citizens to view copies of election results as compiled and recorded at polling units upon the conclusion of voting at an election

According to the statement, the URL to the page, which is the internet address, has been changed from www.inecelectionresults.com to www.inecelectionresults.ng.

On Thursday, YIAGA Africa had called the attention of the electoral umpire to the result viewing portal.

“Dear @inecnigeria its 14hrs to the #FCTAreaCouncilElections2022 and the Election Results Viewing portal is down and inaccessible. When will the site be fixed to enable citizens access polling units results in tomorrow’s election?” YIAGA had tweeted.

The Commission stated that all previous information and credentials on the old domains remain valid.
