Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Maurice Iwu, has said that results of the 2011 general elections would be released without delay, as Nigerians will know the result electronically as it is released, due to the newly introduced Electronic Voting System.
Iwu said while the 2007 general elections could not be said to be bad, the country however, has to strive to improve its electioneering processes in 2011.
This is as Action Congres (AC), said yesterday, that "Iwu remains the single biggest impediment to organisation of free and fair elections in the country in 2011."
In a statement issued in Awka, Anambra State, yesterday, by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the recent statement by Iwu, that inadequate personnel could constitute a problem to the organisation of the 2011 elections, is a ploy to hoodwink unsuspecting Nigerians into thinking all is well with INEC and its leadership.
Iwu, who was in Kaduna State for the first forum on e-voting, put together by INEC, while stating that his agency would not be intimidated by people who do not wish the country well, added that “states would be able to have their aggregate and judge for themselves the results of election in their respective polling booths, even before we release the results, as INEC is fully computerised to carry out the election using e-voting system, which will make our work easier and better,’’ he said.
Iwu had before the meeting, visited Governor Namadi Sambo, where he said that the computer can not change the manner of elections in Nigeria where people refuse to accept defeat when they lose.
He said, "but let me quickly admit that computer would not provide any solution to such things, as when people have disease of the mind, when people refuse to accept defeat even when they lose elections.
Computer will not be able to erase mountains of cynicism when fellow country men and women have started doubting their own country, computers will not do that.
"Electronic voting will also not be an answer to people who have occupied their mindset that elections are only free and fair either when they win elections or when they do not contest, that is the only time it will be free and fair, but when they win, the elections now becomes free and fair," he said.

So here, the proffessor has spoken again! With the efficiency of PHCN in the country, how feasible will electronic compilation of votes be?

E-voting will make INEC business lot easier, they simply add more ZERO'S at the end of whatever figure they look to put out, no more inkmark from pen to alter result. I love this country and those rudderless captain sailing her ship
