The Senate Committee on Electoral Matters has said that it will make it mandatory for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to upload election results online.

The committee chairman, Senator Sharafadeen Alli, told Channels TV on Tuesday that the current law does not make it mandatory for INEC to upload results, but that the committee is working on amending the law.

He said, “That is one of the things that we are going to do. Under the current law, it is not mandatory for INEC to upload results, that is what the court has said. But as we are going forward, it is going to be mandatory.”

In addition to other electoral reforms being considered, Alli said the committee proposed resolving all pre-election matters before the election and upgrading election technology.


“We looked at elections and election petitions. In terms of legislation about election petitions, what we think is all pre-election matters resolved before the election.

“We are also looking at a situation where election petitions are concluded before swearing in.


“We are thinking of approving the time within which to file and conclude election petitions so that somebody will not be sworn in, that is what led us into having these off-cycle elections. There would have been no need for it if we were able to conclude election petitions before the swearing in.

“We are looking at the development of technology, improvement on technology because a lot of Nigerians were disappointed when the use of the IReV didn’t work, but going forward we will try to ensure INEC do something about that,” he said.

If you like

Please make the law in such a way that if the results are not uploaded 4 hours after the last Bvas capture the polling unit would be cancelled

Make collection at ward level can only start if all the results have been uploaded

Make over voting when the total votes exceed Bvas accredited votes

Most importantly make sure the supreme Court interprete the law and the meaning before it is passed

Yimu! So all the billions budgeted for this same technology for INEC in the last election was for corruption? Shameless criminal idiots. Karma will surely visit all of you including the criminal organisation called INEC.

You will buy GSM or satellite transmission license and the complementary ICT infrastructures for INEC then

Will that thieve in Abuja approve of it?
.

The 9th senate said more than this, so what happened? Mahmoud Yakubu should resign from the Inec chairmanship job. He has overstayed in the job. #ResignMahmodYakubu

Noise! We heard more than this pre-2023 elections!

Locking the barn door after the horse left already..

As long as manual collation still exists in the electoral law.

Akuko Mike Ejeagha😏

First of, I do not believe that a senate led by the buffoon called Akpabio can dare make such a law.

Second, even if they did, Tinubu will never sign it. Because signing it is like signing off on his own death sentence.

But let’s see how long Tinubu and his horde of criminals can hold on.

Also make it mandatory that all post election petitions will be concluded before handover date.It is very important.

Look at this fool should we now leave the process the was it was previously instead of ensuring result are upload in timely fashion.

Senators should also legalize outright cancellation of any results not uploaded after an hours of ballot closing.
