He cited a recent FCT area council election where difficult terrain and poor connectivity delayed results from one ward until the next day.
Amupitan said elections depend heavily on planning and field operations, warning that any weakness in logistics can affect public trust.
He added that although some human and operational lapses were recorded in recent polls, steps are being taken to address them before 2027.
The INEC chairman also announced a review of party regulations to align with the Electoral Act 2026.
He said the commission aims to tighten oversight of political parties, reduce pre-election disputes, and strengthen internal democracy ahead of the next general elections.
