Zuria:
The concept is good but the process seems flawed. I'm not impressed by it sha....

emiye:


The number of votes must not exceed the accredited number of voters(number of approved cards by card readers), as the numbers accredited will be sent to a central database with INEC. The era of someone standing somewhere and thumb printing unused ballot papers is virtually eradicated.

shaqhead:

We not e-voting per se but the card readers is used to checkmate d incidence inflating d acccredited voter number wc in turn leads to increase in d voter number! So if 50 people are accredited using d machine, wc cannot be tempered wt by d adhoc staff, therefore only 50 people or less will vote. Anything outside this, magomago dy oo

oloye121:
It takes a average of 30 seconds to verify the voter. The accreditation period is between 8am and 12 pm. 4 hours. The card reader is configured to work during this period. That means that the reader will only be able to accredit less than 500 voters. In my unit we have more than 1000 registered voters. So what will happen to the rest ? . I hope this will not lead to a breakdown of law and order

luvmijeje:


Hmmmm, so there can still be cases of multiple voting?

iluvnaija:


For those comparing PVC as electronic voting
There is no electronic voting in naija for Christ sake! It's only for accreditation and to authenticate voters that's all.

Why many people dull like this?

jaybee3:

Yes..
They had still be able to stuff extra 100 in If they verify/authenticate 400 and only 300 stayed behind to complete the voting process.

jaybee3:

You claimed the machine can't deliver 100% efficiency and i'm telling you it's possible since the expected outcome is defined and the input is fixed.

The hardware expects to read a familiar barcode which then gets processed by the inbuilt software (PIC) that compares the tranformed variables with the preloaded values within seconds.
That's merely a repetitve task that will almost certaily deliver 100% accuracy.

The only outside factor that can allow it malfunction is loss of power which they are going to counter by having a back up reader

sparrowkid:


The 0.03% is in respect to the total of card readers in their possession which is around 182,000 out of which about 500 is defective.

Concerning the battery, a fully charged battery of the card reader will last up to 14 hours of serious usage and the accreditation is just 5 hours. In the case of polling units with large number of voters above 500, voting points will be created by INEC to cater for that. If the card reader does not work, provision will be made for replacement and if with all efforts replacement cannot be made within the time frame of the election, then the election is postponed till the next day wherein a functional card reader will be brought in.

EUROBOMBER:
All in all, Jonathan will emerge victorious. This is the simple political arithmetics:

GEJ will win the SE/SS/MB. buhari will win heavily in the NW as usual; Kaduna is going to be hot and divided 50-50 between Kaduna north & south. besides, Jonathan's VP is from Kaduna and the sitting Governor is PDP too. Lamido of Jigawa will do all he can to gather some Jigawa votes for Jonathan. Votes from the SW will be split and GEJ will get a reasonable size of the votes from there. The NE will not be too impressive because of the ding dung battles between boko haram and the MNTF; losing ground and recapturing it tomorrow.

The APC soldiers on nairaland are fighting a lost battle. I pity them because they will know the real definition of frustration after the elections.

Goodluck Jonathan will remain Nigeria's president come next month!

luvmijeje:


Hmmmm, so there can still be cases of multiple voting?

bros12345:
My instincts tell me this election will be the worse in Nigeria history. I just hope I'm wrong though.

You see, things are easier said on paper than in application. Typical election day situation in Nigeria, believe me, 1 minute will not be enough to verify one person.

Even during the last registration, their laptops were breaking down every where.

What i see is massive protest in several polling units and people complaining they were not allowed to vote.

bamidele029:
He is making a lot of sense. The card reader will announce if person's card is verified the card reader will announce that it's been verified and everyone around can hear it and vice versa if the card is not verified. That will prevent a corrupt INEC official from verifying a card that the card reader has rejected

Burger01:
Make the card reader work wela. No rigging for P.D.Pigs. Rigging is corruption

shaqhead:

#modified
Yes and No
No: It wl b absolute foolishness for any party to want to perpetrate that because as JEGA said result frm such polling unit wl be cancelled..i.e wen d voted cast exceeds the accredited votes.Who looses den?

Yes: In a case where d number that turned out for accreditatn is more than the number that later turned up to vote...some unscruplous party agents in cahoot wt inec staff myt attempt to make up for d deficit in voter number by "puting" no longer "stuffing" the ballot box but in my opinion such numbers wont b so much as to affect d whole credibility of d election.

iluvnaija:


With all due respect my brother I am not abusing him only adding to what he has said. I keep hearing senators asking unreasonable questions when they know fully well the pure purpose of PVC.

I am sorry.

stop concluding like that....did you watch it live?i did and very sure that accreditation per person will not last more than 30secs

amanze15:
I "we tried to locate your polling units on the reader we used here for demonstration thats why it took some much time, the readers coming to ur polling units are programmed for ur area so it would take 10-30 seconds in the hands of a trained adhoc staff"....prof jega

jaybee3:


They can be so please don't argue. I'm not talking about mechanical process. We are talking about software process flow here

The process of verification if disorderliness isnt a factor shouldn't take that much time after factoring the contigency period of an hour max.

colossus2:

Your phone don ever hang before?

phillip4re:

jaybee3:

That's because it's reliant on radio signal

This system will be offline so no outside interference.

Just straight input/output
I've designed a barcode scanner/reader before
