I want to inquire how INEC will ensure that all newly registered voters that are willing to collect their voters card are supported to do that,

With the recent development where we have seen people burying voters card to manipulate the electoral process.

My question is what is INEC doing to ensure such do not happen any more, the difference I have seen from Oyibos and us is that their system anticipate failures and risk and build processes to counter it.

I will suggest INEC to handle the voters collection exercise in these simple way.
- On INEC portal, there should be a verification that applicants could check if their voters card have been delivered to their preferred collection center. With this and constant media awareness, it will limit un-manageable queue at the collection center as people would be able to ascertain if their voters card is ready for collection and delivered before coming to the center.
- There should also be a public complaint form on INEC portal, where people could lodge complaint to INEC if their voters cards could not be seen or lost. If INEC has a good data analysis process, they will be able to analyze collection centers with multiple cases , trigger investigation and bring any culprit to book. If this awareness is spread, you will see that no-one will hide new applicants voters card. Apart from being waste of fund used in its production, the dis-enfranchisement is also a social and national sabotage and should be handled as a criminal offense.

Over time , we have seen that the major manipulation happen in the villages and remote zones, if the right transparency is enforced through putting appropriate systems in place, youths with some level of awareness could support their aged ones in the remote villages in this verification without traveling to the village.

NIGERIA WILL BE BETTER AGAIN ONCE WE HAVE SINCERE AND RESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP .
