YES,it reduce rigging, didn't you notice how there was no rigging in Ekiti election which APC had to use vote buying as their only option.If there is one thing I appreciate Buhari and the 9th Assembly is the amendment and signing of the new electoral law.

nothing else will eliminate rigging in Nigeria if we cant stand the chance to cast our votes online and anywhere you find yourself in the country!

this is the simple truth the politicians are afraid of!

What if there is no network to electronically transmit the results? It is the alternative that brings rigging.
Or is the BVAS connect to a satellite network?

The biggest challenges now are underage voting and vote-buying

Electoral Laws without strict monitoring or followups don't work in climes as that of Nigeria.

We need vote in all leadership positions young visionary leaders come next year and most importantly vote out both APC & PDP alike.

I think it has truly strengthened our electoral process...

The political parties will truly have a hard time...

They have been box to vote buying approach and disruption of voting process wherever they feel things is not going their way..

The old gimmicks of ballot stuffing, over voting and massive thumb printing seems to be gone for good.

Op your question seems like you definitely not in Nigeria. Before buhari agreed to sign that electoral bill,they have shown him the rigging strategies and just concluded ekiti elections is casa study.

Nothing will change,even if God himself come down to rule Nigeria with the crop of politicians and the type of political system we run.

Just watch how tinube will emerge,and they will call it vote buying.

Yea, it will reduce bloated figures but it won't eliminate rigging totally, as there are other ways rigging can be done.

Trust Politicians at your peril. Be sure they are currently working on how to bypass all the measures put in place by INEC.

I still want in-depth analyses of how the BIVAS can terminate malpractice though.

The only way BIVAS can terminate malpractice and rigging is when the device can actually authenticate and validate voters' finger print and facial recognition.

Vote buying is the problem now ,most people are hungry and if you offer them 5k they will willingly accept ,all these preaching of shunning 5k for a better 4 years is like telling a man on top of a woman that is about to ejaculate to hold it back ...is very difficult .

PaChukwudi44:
No polling station must record votes above the number accredited by the BVAS machine.

Results from each polling unit will immediately be uploaded to the INEC portal

this is where the rigging comes to play... before accreditation will be over and ready for voting, the voters will be all exhausted as there will be no time to register all the number of voters in that unit. They will now fill in the rest available space of that entire unit.

There are also some area where there is no network service, like the riverine areas which the results will not be uploaded at that particular day....

The ballot paper must be presented as evidence for keeps.

not all units will be able to transmit result on that same day. The process of accreditation before voting is time consuming and there is no way they can exhaust all the total voters in that particular unit. eg, if the total register voters in a particular unit is five thousand registered voters... the numbers of people accredited to vote cannot be up to 5000 and the 4pm closing time can never be enough. The rest will be manipulated by the poling officers who are already compromised by the ward executives

That's not totally true.

What if the presiding officer is attacked and the ballots got snatched or burnt after recording the results, will INEC reject the results? No sir!

INEC can [and will] reject the result if the Presiding Officer failed to return the ballot paper back to the collation centre.
That is why all Party(ies) Agent must escort the Election Officers back to the collation centre

All these are still greatly dependent on the party agent at the PU.

If he's compromised, all votes can be allocated to a party, while the ballot is destroyed.

But I get, it will to some extent reducebit

Party agent and the police are people they use to rig election so rigging still continue just that everything will be done before they send it. So no much changing.

The votes from the PU would be voided

That also opens up another channel for election rigging with politicians using political thugs to disrupt elections in the opposition strongholds thereby putting those results up for disqualification huh

For where? It might just reduce the chances of rigging considering that politicians are focusing on vote buying.
I know APC is determined to rig this election but the youths pass them

they simply can not, this is no election it is a revolution, you have to look at it from that angle.

This youths leading the revolution are mostly educated not illiterates, buying them over in this dire Nigerian situation with their mind resolved is impossible.

Is not that easy again. For me i will say that vote buying is the only problem remaining now.
Cause the number of voters can not be more than the number of accredited voters by the BVAS in a PU

Sincerely, INEC has improved and they are not our problem, but politicians.

This could also be used by an opponent.. for example a pdp contestant can go to an apc strong pu to snatch ballot , just for that pu to be declared void.. hence causing APC to loss vote
