Instead Of Shifting Edo & Ondo Elections, Why Not Go For E-Voting? by BluntNigerian: 2:51pm On May 11, 2020
The topic is straight-forward..
Instead of shifting the Edo and Ondo States Governorship elections, why not the NASS accelerate the review of the Electoral Act, so that INEC can go for the Electronic-Voting and save everybody the whole stress??

I was resting when somebody called me quoting my name and BVN number for me, claiming he is from my bank, but I asked a question which he was grubbing.

Some of the youth are not making us proud, if this is implemented we the poor would be used without we knowing that something is going on electronically.

Register one mobile phone number to every registered electorate. The on Election Day every registered voter would choose their candidate by sending a text bingo!!

That way we would not only have saved money on conducting a manual one but we would have conducted a quick, fast, and transparent election without any fight, rancour or ballot snatching incidence.

My Brother,, Nigeria is badly leaking.
The Nigerian information management is very faulty.

Going by your suggestions, people would just buy lots of phone numbers.. Up to 1000 phone numbers.. Just for the purpose of election.
And even if INEC wants to use both the BVN and NIMC-NIN put together for the identification and verification process, these same leaders coupled with the INEC-umpires would still create big loopholes and create lots of irregularities..
And BOOM..
There would be massive rigging through the loopholes they themselves created

You have good intentions.
Keep up the positive mind.
We will get there one day.

Has there ever been any difference in the ones they've been voting in person.

Nigeria is not ready for such high level of sensitive technology.

Candidates will run down to India and China to hack the system and inflate the votes.
...that will be the new headlines.

We are good at importing.
So, if it is already anywhere in this world, then, we can import it in Nigeria.
All it will take is money., and Nigeria has the money.
The only problem now is that, our leaders think that “majority of” Nigerians are not mentally and emotionally advanced enough to use such technology.
So you see, your leaders had already seen all of us as zombies and had taken some decisions based on their assumptions.
And now, they are still using the choices they supposedly made for us to do a lot of things against us.

I get your point...But my focus is on the time frame between now and when the election will take place...So many thing needs to be considered.
1. Devices needed must be imported (Covid 19)
2. Training of INEC staffs and other people that will be involved.
3. Educating the voters on how to go about it...

I could go on and on listing why it can't work for this election but very possible for subsequent election.

To be honest, a lot of people had already agreed that the default setting of a typical Nigerian is “Criminal Tendency”.
Now, you can imagine a Desperate Individual with an already pre-installed “Criminal Tendency” mindset.

I understand you...
But in all sincerity, it can work..
But that would be only if it really is what we want.

Now what will happen to the governors if they reach their four years? Are they going to step down? Or they will continue against the Constitution which stipulate 4 yrs for elected governors.
We are watching.......

Please Explain yourself better.
Meanwhile, both of them will complete their first four years this year..
If they are voted in again, then their second four years will expire in 2024.

There is no provision for E voting in our electoral system as of today. Opting for e voting will surely make the results unconstitutional at the end of the exercise.
And if the election can not be held before their tenures expires, the Constitution say , Mr President shall appoint a sole administrator.
Not even the Gov will be in the office a minute after their tenures expire
