A possibility but at the same time a dream.. grin

We are allowed to dream.

Yet, so many things we enjoy and have achieved today were once 'dreams' that seemed impossible. That means this one is even one better since you already said it's a possibility.

You are placing the integrity of the vote in the hands of network companies. It is not independent anymore
NIN has nothing to do with network providers na

It's possible but the main issue is how secured it will be against hackers. As you know nothing works well in Nigeria.

A PDP and APC hackers may compete and test their skills on top INEC server. Lol grin
how many bank servers has been hacked ?

The same north that delayed the use of computers to write jamb because they don’t know how to use it, will also delay this good idea also

Bank server is protected by hardware and software layers that's almost impossible to hack. You can't compare it with all this website that uses common MSQL

Your last paragraph defeated any suggestions you might have.

Thanks. Keen observation there.

I included that because I am well aware that the 2023 elections is too damn near for any sort of implementation. Also my suggestions definitely require a meticulous and methodical thinking through, development, approval and testing before finally implementing in any election. These steps take time.

For the 2023 elections, however, we must make the best out of our current system, while we work together for something more perfect in the future.

We can't do the same thing and expect different results, most elections in Nigeria are handpicked and rigged with selective justice.

Well, true, but given our present level of preparedness, or the lack of it, for the next elections I am not expecting any miracles except, like someone posted above, someone younger, smarter, more vibrant and progressive gets into power in 2023. Tall order, quite.

But for this to happen, imagine the major political parties selecting only young, articulate and forward-thinking persons as their flagbearers for all elective positions, and the only thing Nigerians have to worry about is choosing among these people. Even if the elections are rigged, we'd still be sure that we'd be selecting from relatively young and vibrant alternatives.

how many eligible voters use internet enabled gadget, especially in rural areas.
Sharrapp..
Do you need internet before checking balance with *556#??
Or don't you know what USSD means?

A network provider can not mess up ussd regularly because they also earn from it and can be sued if a large number of suspicious bank operations are detected.

Even at that ussd has frequently failed it's users.

Now when considering voting the network provider makes no money from it and must serve a large number of people during a short amount of time.

They can be enticed by politicians to rig in their favour, and rigging is harder to detect.

So do you have a different suggestion about using technology to solve our election problems?

Don't forget that the results could be subjected through some audit process using some database management program to confirm that no NIN was duplicated and that every NIN on the system has a valid identity behind it.

Very brilliant idea but will the power that be allow its implementation.

Thought about this too. But there's got to be a way of checking this at the NIN registration stage or the accreditation stage, especially fingerprint verification.

FalseProphet1:
There will be no elections in 2023, in fact Nigeria will cease to exist before then, so the issue of whether or not e-voting will be adopted by inec shouldn't come up.

This I have seen.
I say a big amen to that..
