INEC To Pilot E-Voting In 2021, Seeks Cancellation Of Bye-Elections by Kwanza: 5:42pm On May 25, 2020
ABUJA: In the wake of lifestyle changes occasioned by the Covid-19 Pandemic, the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC has said it would be adopting more technological tools in discharging its mandate, disclosing of its resolve to pioneer electronic voting in the country by 2021.

This was as the electoral umpire decried the rising cost of elections in the country, saying it would be liaising with the National Assembly to see how political parties can nominate replacements for dead representatives in line with a Supreme Court judgment that votes belong to the parties and not individuals.

INEC disclosed this in a document released Monday in Abuja which was tagged, “Policy on Conducting Elections in the Context of the Covid-19 Pandemic”, and signed by its Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu.

The commission also added that voters without face masks would be disallowed from voting in the forthcoming governorship elections in Edo and Ondo states.

I love the idea of party being asked to replace dead legislators instead of spending money to organise bye-election.

Nothing good can come out of Buhari regime. We just wasted 8 years of governance. Buhari is brainless. Imagine his cabinet members fighting on social media. Nigeria is doomed

This is Nigeria please, nothing said will ever be done. As a matter of fact, the hazard allowance promised to health workers have not been paid till now.

This country is a joke. Some few groups of people are just chopping money
Re: INEC To Pilot E-Voting In 2021, Seeks Cancellation Of Bye-Elections by obataokenwa(m): 6:17pm On May 25, 2020
The only solution is cancel the former inec voters card and do a fresh one so as to capture the real voters not those almajiri under age they use to stuff everywhere claiming to have the highest voters. Make the requirements to register with national ID or international passport or waec result or fslc etc

It shall not be well with Jega.
