But you will disenfranchise a while lot of people who won't have access to high end phones that will have biometric features . Because you can afford such a phone doesn't mean everyone can, that's why the world over governments provide gadgets in certain locations so people can go cast their votes.....and in some cases like US things like mail in ballots and early voting to make sure every eligible voter votes.,....most Americans still go to polling stations to vote ,......even at that thy don't have 98% turnout.
Besides voting is a civic duty, don't elevate it to home entertainment or a game on a phone encourage people to go out and vote, except if conditions don't allow.,.....with your proposal many people will just vote along party , religious and ethnic lines which will mean NO CHANGE so I don't buy the idea

so what's your own idea?
can't Nigeria for once start something that others will follow? Must we always wait for others??

People vote when they feel like and the way they feel like...it is nobody's business...

Really

The best era of Electronic-Voting would be the time when we can vote remotely with our phones without physically having to go to the Polling-units..

And that is: starting with the scanning of the bar-codes on our Voter's Card with our phones, then do fingerprint identification and authentication with our phones, and then vote with our phones, and finally submit our votes online with our phones too..

Nevertheless, this wouldn't stop the manual voting methods at the Polling-units for the sake of those who might not have access to the use of high-end phones, but then, Accreditation and transmission of the results from these Polling-units must both be done electronically by the trained Election Officials.

With these methods properly put in place, the Nigerian Elections can have turnouts as high as 98%, because this would avail a lot of citizens the opportunity to vote from home.

(My Opinion Though...)
(So, what is your own opinion on this??)

We can adopt this idea for those who can afford the gadgets and polling station for others ,the idea of jettisoning the polling station is a no no

BluntCrazeMan:
For those that would be saying that Hackers would hack the servers and change the results,,, I want to know why those hackers have not hacked the Banks servers all these while, or you think those hackers don't need money?
That means, it is only the votes (and maybe perhaps, only the Election Results) that they are interested in?? (as if it concerns them sef)
..

..

don't you think that politicians can twist it to their own favor??

deavicky:
what does it rake

It takes good digital youth leader.

Xscape1993:
It takes good digital youth leader.

the service of a youth can be engage do do it. Even if the youth becomes the president he won't do it himself.

The youth president also needs other digital youths to achieve this sir.

that's exactly what he said

Golan007:
In Nigeria, they would burn communication masts to disenfranchise the opposition.

Why would any politician have such a destructive mindset??
That's exactly what I had been saying all these while..
Immature Politicians are everywhere, and be causing serious confusions everywhere..

Good idea but the challenge will be that of accreditational fraud. Many underaged voters will bastardize the system.

What about people that don't own Phones? [quote author=BluntCrazeMan post=101422295]The best era of Electronic-Voting would be the time when we can vote remotely with our phones without physically having to go to the Polling-units..

banks are protecting their money. Who is protecting Nigeria's votes?

BluntCrazeMan:
A mighty fool spotted shaa,, but no wahalla.

You think that such election would ever be based on a weak technology or what??

Point to one govt website that has strong technology

Every year jamb site hangs
Every university website is substandard
Even bank sites hang

How was your experience getting nin or national Id or voter card

It is HIJACK

hedonido:
If the retrogressive abokki retarrds holding Nigeria down would ever agree.

I would even say that illiterates should be denied the right to vote. Let only those who are at least secondary school educated be allowed to vote. Enough of these subhuman almajiri urchins littering everywhere whose only usefulness is to vote for their Islamic/northern champions every election cycle.

Take it easy brother...
Just be calming down gently gently.

CodeTemplar:
What if parties compromise telcos and plant sim cards into their records for voting sake?
It is cool in the sense that political thuggery will be replaced by hacking.

Nothing concerns SIM Cards here....
The only thing that the voters would need here is their Permanent Voter's Cards.. Nothing Else.!!

Iamtonitoni:
Thank God say you no 4get to mention say na your opinion!

And my opinion is very valid and logically sound.
..
Nevertheless, I would like to have your own opinion on this..
Or don't you have any??

Invitationn:
Every technology is vulnerable.
Besides, the tech ecosystem in Nigeria is not ripe enough for the idea.

On the contrary my brother, the Nigerian tech ecosystem is more-than over-ripe for the idea.
The time you will get to appreciate the true strength of the Nigerian tech potentials, you will be marvelled

ArcSEMPECJ:
OP . , you can only have this kind of election I'm a system that is already working, organised and perhaps getting more advanced .....

Simple Voters card, NIC card, name them, Nigeria is taking years to fully implement such...

Besides the mindset of majority of Nigerian politicians and that of the masses are not in anyway aligned or similar,..

You cannot create peace in an extended family where each nuclear family lacks peace....
Restructuring comes to mind,.
..regional government of common minds not a contraception

May God Help Us

uchennaq:
I thought it was suspended due to hacking and fraud.

It was not suspended..
And nothing was hacked either..
..
The current Nigerian Laws didn't support it, so it was not implemented.
..
So, how can something that was not implemented in the first place be hacked??

EmperorTolson:
Lol
It's nice
It's just that election malpractices will increase.
Take it or leave it.
Online Vs Physical, which do you think it's easier to cheat with?
-Double voting.
-Under age voting.
-A voter having more than one voter's card.
-Playing upon the intelligence of the aged who doesn't know how to operate their phones.
Not to talk of a greater reduction in employment rate

You listen to NTA-News too much.
That's why you think that these babyish issues here are the actual problems with the Nigerian Elections...
...
The real problems with the Nigerian Elections are: Multiple-Thumbprinting and Results-Manipulation at the Collation Centres...
And these two things are grossly and shamelessly aided (at least, allowed) by the Electoral Officers.

UncommonLogic:
You must blame everything on Fulanis. So how many countries can even do this now? Even in the US, the land of democracy, the Republicans will never allow this and in fact ste trying as hard as possible to make sure that less and less people are able to vote.
The more people votez the more they lose hence they are trying every trick to make voting as painful as possible.

Na Waa oo.!!

frugal:
Who does it benefit? Definitely not politicians. So it can't happen, at least not now.

God Help Us...
They made us to believe that they are representing us.
Yet, they don't really care about us.

engrfaruq:
So that the outcome will be decided by the KREMLIN huh?

Sheey you know say na Big lie you just lied so??

Jesuschristus:
Mail in na fraud,ask Trump

Did you say Trump??
..
Trump couldn't establish beyond every reasonable doubts (at the courts) that the Mail-in-ballot system is a fraudulent system.
..
He was there on the Social Media, so busily wasting his time away with sulking and excess noise

Josywhyte:
Even if naija adopts that method our pattern still remains 'selection' and not election. Las las dem go hack the system or Lai Mohammed will come up with one silly excuse...

You no get talk..
There won't be any “Server”.. And that means, there is nothing available for anybody to hack..

GeneralPula:
Yeye. Its not easy to hack a bank cuz bank uses hackers as well

Politicians will hire hackers that will run the job...Its what you & I both know!

Whatever you believe sir, let it continue to work for you.
Thanks

lifenija:
doesn't make sense.

this is the best way.

all centers are air live, as u vote the number increases live every one sees it.

people take note broadcast live total number is seen live.

pretty simple n straight forward

Like, how can this be possible?
You mean, all the results at all levels aired live?
Or the election activities themselves??
How many TV Stations do you think that can cover all of them?
