•Seeks N419.91bn to power 119,973 polling units

By Emmanuel Elebeke

ABUJA — The Electronic Development Institute, ELDI, Awka, Anambra State, has developed a solar-powered electronic voting machine for the 2019 general election.

Presenting the device to the Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, in Abuja, yesterday, Vice Chairman of National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure, NASENI, Prof. Mohammed Haruna, told the minister that the innovation was inspired by his (minister’s) request on the agency to develop a tamper proof electronic machine for general election.

He explained that the new voting machine was an improvement on the existing Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC process.

Illustrating the machine, the NASENI boss said the novel technology with cloud-based election result collation system was developed using computer based computing which addresses most of the current electoral challenges with several advantages.

Haruna said the machine, which comes with many advantages, has the capacity to eliminate ballot snatching, multiple thump printing, failure of card reader and alteration of data between polling units and collation centres.

He explained that the device makes provision for real time election result as voting progresses, adding that it also has provision for diaspora voting and incorporates facial recognition, radio frequency identification device options of voter’s identification in addition to thump print and card reader.

The solar powered electronic voting system, according to him, is a home grown technology built on the gains of the present INEC voting system that permits all federal, state and local government elections to be conducted in one day with a voter spending between 50 to 90 seconds to cast his/her votes for both executive and legislative elections.

The system was designed to permit real time display of result as voting progress, if the electoral body so desires, while eliminating human errors.

rigging made easier

I hope these won't start crashing or hanging anytime soon?

...and they deeply think it will have positive effect on Nigerians (the code breakers).


Let's see!

Sounds like something nice but it's not captured in the 2017 budget. Perhaps it would be included in the 2018 budget, and then after following our very lengthy due process in public procurement, the contract would be awarded in June 2018 to a Chinese company who would supply substandard equipments because we are Nigeria.
Then INEC would have to organise workshops to train polling officers on its use bla bla bla by January 2019 we would still be trying to figure out how to run the tin.
Last last, elections would be postponed till June or October.

Ok

They can use a diesel powered electoral machine of they wish....

2019 is Atiku's Year

Sail On Sir

this can't be sustained and trust me,most of these criminals would device a means to rig themselves back to power...Revolution is all we need.God help us

good idea

N419.91bn to power 119,973 d first figure says everything... 419 Rigging made easy device

I have a feeling that this would work in favor of APC, cause APC i know won't bring something new that won't easily help them win elections especially in 2019.

Stop wasting your time on Atiku, a time will come when Obj will tell us why he never allow Atiku to replace him.
When a man gather 75% of what is meant for everyone to himself alone, such a man is not fit to lead.

[b]See strategic rigging plan unveiled, due to the sunny climatic conditions of the North, solar will work there, what of the South? Watch out /b]

Good morning to all the good and bad people on NL.

I can remember this story

In United States of
America they invented a machine that catches thieves;
they took it out to different countries for a test. · USA
, in 30 minutes it caught 500 thieves,· Ghana , in 10
minutes it caught 6000 thieves,· Nigeria, in 5 minutes
the machine was stolen.

another jagaaa loading

Hope it will prevent rigging?

My problem is not weda OBJ has anything on atiku or not, but my problem is our so called educated youths canvassing support for recycled politicians like atiku, obi, kalu etc.
Are the so called leaders of tomorrow too scared to lead?

They want to siphon funds with this project
