The Brazillian election system is arguably one of the best in terms of who can vote and the speed of getting election results. Two key things stand out: speed and who can vote.

I followed the presidential election results online on Google last 4 weeks and barely 3 hours after the polls closed, the results were out. The speed is breathtaking and faster than any large democracy I know. You only need to refresh your Google browser to watch how the results were unfolding. The run-off election is taking place as I type this and you can verify this today.

In addition, all adults 17 - 70 years are required to vote, meaning it is mandatory.

We need our national assembly to change laws for us to go fully electronic in election results tabulating beyond just BVAS. Don't forget Brazil has over 150 million eligible voters. I also think voting should be mandatory in Nigeria so we don't sit and wait for others to vote only to criticize when the wrong leaders are voted into office.

Noted. But Nigeria only learns evil

Nigerian politicians wont like this

Wow
I wish we can do this in 2023

A black man will never be ready for any good thing his mind is always fool of evil

Lemme tell you the honest truth.

It will take hundred of years before we can make use of electronic voting.

It's not as if we can't do it. But we gave to consider some factors

1. More than 70% of Nigerians are illiterate

2. No working economy

3. No basic amenities like stable light

4. Many villages in Nigeria don't even have networks.

5. We don't have database of all Nigerian citizens. It will take hundred of years to do that.

If you've been to Niger state.
In Niger state, majority of some towns and villages, they don't even know where their local government starts or Ends.

It's toooooooooo big with scanty villages.

And that's how it is in Northern Nigerian.

You may have to read between the lines. There was nowhere I mentioned online voting. What I said is an electronic tabulation of results which the BVAS is also built to do but the entire system can be enhanced.

The BVAS system as it is currently outputs pictures of uploaded results, not raw numbers. It becomes difficult to use any web API to pull the data or other forms of ML/AI technology so tabulation of results is a very difficult manual process for anybody or an organization to do.

And who says we cannot adopt electronic voting in addition to the current manual system for those who have access to the internet? Voting is not the problem though, but election results tabulation. So, the focus of this post is not about how we vote but how votes are tabulated and made available for public consumption.

Lol. Voting is the problem bro.

Tabulations is never the problem.

In my polling unit, ward, and Ratech.

We make use of Excel. we've already put the formulas and recorded it ourselves. I we only transmit them to our SPO
though other wards na manual dem use.

It is because they want to rig, that's why you think tabulating is difficult or is our problem

You may be right to some extent but I still believe election results tabulation and transmission is a problem, else we should have results available in a very short time after votes are cast. What is available are uploaded pictures of results for all pooling units. Rather, after the results are uploaded into the BVAS, the public should be able to see the summary or total of votes for the candidates beyond the polling unit. At the least, we should see the total at the local government level if not the state level and this is what I am talking about.

Oh... Yeah I understand you.
Even uploading it on server polling unit by polling unit is stress.

There should be a way ... I won't type much but I got you perfectly.

Hopefully we'll get there

To make voting mandatory in Presidential elections is the ultimate way forward for a country like Nigeria.

Any Government from southern state must make this a Top priority. His number one priority

Such that, there should be harsh penalty for not voting during presidential election

The penalties could include : denial from opening bank account or access to loans or any government service. Something that is relevant daily
