Many advanced countries dont use E-voting because of the massive fraud that can be pepertuated from it. The machine is program to count certain percentage of votes for one candidate. You vote Godwin, the machine transmits your vote to the center as having voted for Badluck.

Oga, don't blame the machine, rather blame the people behind the machine. The machine gives you what you want. My point exactly is, this Govt, is doing everything possible to reduce people that will vote.

We are not ripe for that E-voting tech, the party in power can use it to win election for 1000 years without trace of fraud.

Electronic vote fraud

Electronic voting fraud occurs when the electronic system in which one is voting on computer touch screens are used to gather votes, but since it has been implemented in the late 1980s it has been prone to voting fraud and irregularities.

Although electronic voting can help make election administration more efficient, it has also presented challenges including software failures and a vulnerability to vote fraud.[1]

Types of electronic fraud
One type of electronic voting fraud is when incorrect programming causes machines to skip several thousand party-line votes, both Republican and Democratic. On old-fashioned, paper and optical scan ballots, voters can vote straight party depending on party preference. This one type of fraud that can be caused by incorrect programming[2].

Another type of electronic voting fraud is when it can be attributed to a programmer intentionally reversing the “yes” and “no” answers in the software used to count the votes or for certain candidates in a election. Those charged include circuit court judge R. Cletus Maricle, county clerk Freddy Thompson and former school superintendent Douglas Adams. The 10-count indictment accused the defendants of a conspiracy from March 2002 until November 2006 that included extortion, mail fraud, obstruction of justice, conspiracy to injure voters' rights and conspiracy to commit voter fraud. According to the indictment, these alleged criminal actions affected the outcome of federal, local and state primary and general elections in 2002, 2004 and 2006.[3] Specific allegations in the case are that Clay County Clerk, Freddy Thompson allegedly provided money to election officers to be distributed by the officers to buy votes, and he also instructed officers how to change votes at the voting machine.[3] Election officer William E. Stivers allegedly marked votes or issued tickets to voters who had sold their votes and changed votes at the voting machine.[3] Paul E. Bishop allegedly marked voters or issued tickets to voters who sold their votes, and he also hosted alleged meetings at his home where money was pooled together by candidates and distributed to election officers, including himself. He was also accused of instructing the officers how to change votes at the voting machine.[3]

November 2003: A MicroVote machine in Boone County counted over 100,000 ballots despite that there were only 5,000 total ballots being casted in the small Indiana county.[2]

November 2002: In Texas,Scurry County poll workers were suspicious about a landslide victory for two Republican commissioner candidates. Elections officials in Scurry County attributed and confirmed their suspicion that a “bad chip” was to blame as just before the election a new computer chip was flown in. After the known suspicion elections officials counted the votes by hand and after the recount found out that Democrats actually had won by wide margins, overturning the election.[2]

November 1999: In Onondaga County, NY Bob Faulkner, a political newcomer, went to bed on election night confident he had helped complete a Republican sweep of three open council seats. But after Onondaga County Board of Elections staffers rechecked the totals, Faulkner had lost to Democratic incumbent Elaine Lytel. Just a few hours later, election officials discovered that a software programming error had given too many absentee ballot votes to Lytel. Faulkner took the lead and later won the election reversing the previous decision.[2]
'November 1998: In an election in Salt Lake City, 1,413 votes never showed up in the total. This was attributed to a programming error which caused a batch of ballots to not count, though they had been run through the machine like all the other races. When the 1,413 missing votes were counted, this resulted in a reversal on who won or lost certain races.[2]

December 1997: In Akron, OH in a County Board Election in Portage County had Ed Repp as the winner of the election until a programming error was discovered that rendered a defeat for Repp. Another error in the same election resulted in incorrect totals for the Portage County Board election also resulted in incorrect totals for measure elections, causing massive chaos and extensive electoral recounts.[2]

November 1986: Georgia had one of the first electronic voting machines, and the wrong candidate was declared the winner in an election in Georgia. Incumbent Democrat Donn Peevy was running for State Senate in District 48, and the electronic machines stated that he lost the election. After an investigation revealed that a Republican election official had kept uncounted ballots in the trunk of his car, officials also admitted that a computerized voting program had miscounted votes. Peevy challenged for a recount. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “When the count finished around 1 a.m., they [the elections board] walked into a room and shut the door,” recalls Peevy. “When they came out, they said, ‘Mr. Peevy, you won.’ That was it. They never apologized. They never explained," said the State Senator after the apparent victory.[2]

E-voting was introduced in Brazil in 1996 as a means to ensure secrecy and accuracy of the election process, as well as speed: the system underpinned by about 530,000 voting machines currently in place enables results to be processed within a matter of minutes within closing of the ballots.

However, a public test of the equipment conducted by security and encryption specialists from Unicamp and Universidade de Brasília, two of the top computer science universities in Brazil, suggests that it is possible to easily break the secrecy of the machine and unscramble the order of votes recorded by the device.

Brazilians unconditionally believe the [security of the] country's electoral authority and processes. The issue is that common citizens actually have no other option because of the lack of independent checks," says Unicamp professor and encryption specialist, Diego Aranha.

Another issue is that the Brazilian machines, which are based on the Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) model, do not produce a physical proof that the vote has been recorded. This means there is a constant danger of large-scale software fraud, as well as other non-technical tampering that could be perpetrated by former or current electoral justice staff and go totally undetected, according to Aranha.

The Brazilian Electoral Tribunal (TSE, in the Portuguese acronym) did not allow new public tests since the faults were discovered by Aranha's team in 2012, when the TSE granted access to more than 10 million lines of code for five hours. Since the system holes were found, the Tribunal said it would not allow further independent tests.

"[The TSE] said that my attitude was disrespectful and a threat to democracy, which is bizarre given that I am a professor at a public university," Aranha says.

"The reality is that there appears to be a conflict of interests, since the government wants to portray the system as bullet-proof and at the same time cover up these vulnerabilities," the academic adds

4 years ago I saw a video where a scientists testified in court in US how he worked for Democrats to change electronic votes from Republican to Democrats.

Esseite:
An NGO should set up realtime camera feeds on all polling unit locations...

see ur mouth.. NGO.. do you know how much it would cost to run such an operation?

Suplexx:


Electronic voting is the easiest way to rig election. Have you not read the cases in US where machines were programmed to count certain percentage of votes for one candidates. You vote A, the machine transmits B to the central collation.

Lies.... With electronic voting there cannot be multiple votes.
Secondly, unused ballot papers cannot be thumb printed and stuffed into ballot boxes.

johnnyvid:
i don't subscribe to your comments here that they will rig the election.it can only be allowed if the electorates want they to rig the election.as far as am concern, the electorates will stand by their votes. rigging will be resisted on every side.

like they have resisted successfully in the past abii?

The rigging has already started. All they need is the right scenario to justify their fraud.
Brace yourselves cos we might be seeing the greatest electoral heist in the history of this chequered nation.

ogtavia:

of course the electorates have resisted rigging before. I don't think you have votes and monitor your votes before.

not at the city centres...the main rigging happens in the rural areas..

Stop being an ignoramus. There is nothing like thump print and ballot books in electronic voting. What you are talking about is electronic accreditation.

Electronic Voting has never been practiced in Nigeria. Only few nations practice it.

emmykey0128:
I don't know why my mind keeps telling me that there will he massive rigging in next year election or buhari will lose the election and refuse to relinquish power,

The thing here is that, I don't see Buhari losing that election

zicoraads:
This is terrible! As terrible as how difficult it is to register and collect one's PVC in some certain states. Why is the INEC suddenly finding it difficult to perform her functions?!

The APC have already set their rigging machinery into motion.

If getting your PVC was easy before,why did you not get your own under politicians deceiving peasant 's era?

dbynonetwork:
CHAI...
E no go better for APC N BUHARI...

Pdp masters of thumb printing.

It was easy, very easy. And yes, my family and I have their PVCs. The only people left to collect are the two last born of the family. That's where it's becoming more of an issue.
