The Supreme Court has rejected the National Super Alliance's request for "unfettered" access to audit the IEBC servers.
The court has instead granted NASA read-only access to select data and equipment IEBC used to conduct August 8 poll and transmit election results.
Issuing the directive, Justice Isaac Lenaola stated that the petitioners would be granted a read-only copy of information relating to the number of servers.
"The petitioners will be granted limited access to IEBC servers to protect the integrity of its systems & guard against compromising the identity of its users, and suppliers," he explained.
