And some people wanted to eat Mahmud Yakubu raw for trying to apply his discretion to close some of these gaps or to avoid the inherent risks.

E-voting is different from E-transmission of Result.

E-voting is to vote online through a designated machine without paper thumb printing.

Whereas, in our case, we don't practice E-voting we thumbprint physically and then count it right at the polling unit before we employ E-transmission to upload the photos and results.

The Yakubu you mentioned had no gaps to close or inherent risk. They allegedly turned off the Server so they won't be able to transmit the counted result through e-transmission from the polling units. Rather they took it to the INEC office by road and started uploading documents which never matched.

Maybe you never understood the situation.

Lol both are risky here, think it's time we start beating our leaders
And the electoral umpire especially for making it impossible for people's choices to count, that is why it is always repeated
Since the last election Yakub Mahmood is just enjoying himself, given the same opportunity, he will do same again
His successors will do worse because nobody holds them accountable not even the media

Electronic voting is different.

What we're doing in Nigeria is paper voting with electronic transmission, which is exactly what Mr. Musk is asking for.

Electronic voting is using an electronic touchscreen to vote (for which experts are showing concern, due to saud machines being powered by Microsoft CE, according to the article in the OP).

The problem is, in Nigeria, electronic transmission was jettisoned in favour of manual collation only for the Presidential election while it worked well for Senatorial and Representative elections held same day, same time.

I hope you're not pretending not to know, sha, just to score a point.

If we say lets do everything American does , you guys will say Nigeria is unique.

You cannot reprobate and approbate at the same time.

Pls educate me. Do military personnel who don’t live in their country or state vote during elections or not? And if they’re not able to go in person, let’s say if they’re abroad, how will they vote if mail in ballots are abolished?
