My friend I also like the idea of electronic voting but my first question is which of the developed country that we used to emulate have implemented electronic voting? I think their fear is the interference from other nation with robust ICT infrastructures and skilled Professionals. For now electronic voting can be implemented in a mini election like SUG, or association election.

Sweet and simple way to end rigging and electoral violence. We all know this, they all know this but they will never try it.

I am very much in support of this idea to use BVN as the user name and surname as the password to the gain access to the voting platform.
Apps can also be created that works across mobile OSs to inclue Android and Java.
The website shoud work across browsers and operating systems.
Major issue
1. Hacking:
To be solved by engaging site testing companies from US, Russia, China and India to test the site for loopholes. The countires would work against each other to our advantage.
2. Poor Internet Network:
Space the elections to take place for about 14 days. And all the elections should go on simultaneously.
Ensure that the bandwidth is of highest quality and quantity. The money is available. INEC can also provide free wifi at specific locations.
3. I know that BVN is also allocated to Corporate bank accounts, but this can easily be separated from personal BVN accounts.
4. Easy vote buying:
This cannot be eliminated. Your BVN is private but if you choose to give it for money, no one can stop you. It is your choice.
5. Government manipulations:
Make the database read only. The database should be designed majorly fro uploading. The only allowed changes should be to update party details /logos and election arrangements.
6. No country is doing it:
They are quite efficient in the syetem they are using. We need to try this and improve on it. Other countries may copy us. We can set the pace.
7. There other issues but all have solutions.


Advantages:
1. The BVN database is presently the most efficient database in Nigeria. And to the best of my knowledge, no single person has two BVN numbers.
2. Most of the underaged do not have BVN and cannot vote.
3. Everyone that has bank accont with BVN can vote and I believe this should be about 60-75% of Nigerians.
4. Nigerians in Diaspora can also partake in voting activities.
5. Lower cost of running elections
6. Absence of thuggery, shedding of blood and killings
7. There are other advantages too.

I have quite a few things more to say but let's have others opinion.

How much will it take to bribe GLO or the useless MTN for customer's identify on their network and use it to rig again? Or how much do you think A Russian hacker will collect to break through a 128bit encryption site?

He has been banned for life, and he has been fined. If he refuses to pay the fine, what will FIFA do?

Network issues will still hurt this idea

not only that. if they can't snatch ballot boxes, what's stopping them from robbing people off their phones.. also, what's stopping riggers from buying millions of sim cards
