BALLOT BOX SNATCHING A MENACE, THAT MUST BE ERADICATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW:

"The electoral act (2010) prohibits anyone from snatching electoral materials.

Section 129 subsection (4) of the electoral act prescribes a maximum two years imprisonment for offenders.

It reads: 129 (1) No person shall on the date on which an election is held do any of the following acts or things in a polling unit or within a distance of 300 metres of a polling unit-

(a) canvass for votes;

(b) solicit for the vote of any voter;

(c) persuade any voter not to vote for any particular candidate;

(d) persuade any voter not to vote at the election;

(e) shout slogans concerning the election;

(f) be in possession of any offensive weapon or wear any dress or have any facial or other decoration which in any event is calculated to intimidate voters;

(g) exhibit, wear or tender any notice, symbol, photograph or party card referring to the election; 59 Disorderly conduct at ejections Offences on ejection day

(h) use any vehicle bearing the colour or symbol of a political party by any means whatsoever;

(i) loiter without lawful excuse after voting or after being refused to vote;

(j) snatch or destroy any election materials; and

(k) blare siren.

(4) Any person who snatches or destroys any election material commits an offence and is liable on conviction to 24 months imprisonment.

Section 128 of the act adds that “any person who at an election acts or incites others to act in a disorderly manner commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a maximum fine ofN500,000 or imprisonment for a term of 12 months or both.”

Section 131 of the same act further states that anyone who uses force, threats, violence or restraint is liable on conviction to a fine of N1 million or imprisonment for a term of 3 years.

In as much as the act of ballot box snatching remains a menace that must be vehemently rejected, resisted and condemned by all, however in the most civil manner in accordance with the provision of the law and in line with international best practices.
