Thank you for this thread. Let me repost this
There has been so much confusion over the reportage of this issue and I am so disappointed in the media. It is not electronic voting, it is ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION of results. They have tried to use this confusion to mislead people with e-voting. Is it this NASS that did not allow diaspora to vote that wants to give electronic voting They should start with electronic voting at the Senate first instead of relying on voice vote but these guys we have there now can't. They can never because you can't give what you don't have. Honor is not sold in the market neither is you calling yourself distinguished distinguish you from any cowardly behaviour.

The media is doing a bad work in not reporting the issues properly. I have seen people like Reno mislead the public about the issue. The SP too has said some things when he talks down Nigerians the usual way. Nigerians do not vote electronically, the people are saying cut the amount of manual intervention you have in collation.

The election process is like this:
1. You register to vote.
2. You get your PVC
3. Before election day, you see your name Ong the list of registered voters
4. On election day, you register to vote (this is called accreditation) where the PO confirms that you are on the list of registered voters and it is not someone else
5. You cast your ballot secretly.
6. The PO counts the votes, that IS, ALL the paper you voted for, then writes the results.
This is where Nigerians want the results to be electronically transmitted.
7. This result is announced and a copy normally should be posted for you at your PU
8. The PO takes the counted result that was signed by the party agents and herself to the collation centre

This is where Nigerians saw the magomago. This is why you see the APC guys boast of polling agents. We should be ashamed of ourselves that we need too many people to count votes in 2026. Let me not distract from my essay. Check the quoted post I have below.

There are two collation centres. There's ward collation centre and state collation centre. It is at these places counting magic happens. You see all those things the Professors do on TV? They are only counting LG results for each state. They are also checking if there were any other electoral issues that can lead to some results not counted or cancelled.

What INEC promised at the last election is that with Irev you can see your PU result live. You can even audit the election result for each ward and do your own counting for the LG. But the APC and their abracadabra manipulated your result. So while you were counting after step 5, they saw the live results, did their own counting and gave you the figures they wanted. That's why INEC announced results of the election at night. That's where you saw numbers changed at Irev portal. If party A had 12, they put 6 in front of it and made it 612. That is why the Irev portal had glitch. The glitch was the fraudulent excuse to tamper with the result, change it and have their own numbers. They had to delay the loading to iRev portal so you won't be able to dispute the results. Only a thief at night steals it, snatches it and runs away with it to announce that the white they stole at nibjt is now Ariel clean in the morning.

With electronic transmission, Nigeria will reduce massively how much money we spend on elections. Our elections are only expensive because people simply want to cheat, QED! It's a bloody waste of time recruiting so many people just to count numbers, shey we no de shame? Chai


For those of them that bring that useless video of Elon Musk not trusting electronic voting, please read below. They intentionally omitted the part where US does not conduct its election like ours. They work on trust because from birth you already have an ID and government knows when you turn 18.

SixSeven:
They should even pity the fasting Muslims and Christians and allow them vote from their phones. After all, the same people can vote Big Brother and there is no transmission error. When it is bad things, they will be giving us examples of bad things in USA, showing us Elon Musk videos. When it's good things we can copy from USA, they hide. USA that does not have voter registration or PVC card for every voter, the system sends it to your address because of government data, they skip the process and want to put a wool over our eyes.

The US election has been compromised because there is no registration or accreditation.Nigeria has voter ID, America does not have. We used those because of fraud after seeing Mike Tyson voting in previous elections. We should be leading and the world should be copying us but they want us to remain in level Zero for long 🤡

Nigeria will close its borders, close work just to count numbers. Something that should not be so in 21st century if not for fraud and manipulation magomago dem wan do. It's a big shame that adults cannot count numbers Na professor go de count numbers. Agbaya people. Simple thing, dem turn am to billions. Big disgrace.

Let me watch evil people support rubbish

Real time transmission of election results is invitation to El Rufai and his ADC coalifusion members to hack INEC servers. This is what El Rufai meant when he boastfully said Tinubu would come 3rd in the 2027 election. We don't want transmission of election results.

one of the reasons why you don't give Satan a chance in your life is because it's difficult to cast him out.he doesn't leave easily.thats the case with nigerians. they gave Satan and his demons chance now to chase them away is very difficult

Doing it immediately after voting should not involve paper.

You still need the paper trail but the reason why we are transmitting it is that the timestamp of the transmitted copy serves as full protection for the numbers and when they compare this to the paper copy, they can tell if it has been manipulated.

By now INEC should have a system that can tabulate the results PU by PU, ward by ward and LG by LG. It is 2027 for God sake. This was the disingenuous thing Reno Omokri avoided. He claimed the US stations can tell their own results but he didn't tell us why and how they could. The TV stations don't manufacture results. They can all read from a portal publicly available. That's why they can tell the results before the electoral body there officially declares the results. This is why Jonathan could concede even before Mr Jega had finished the exercise. APC just wants to rig, simple

Keep crying with your illusional Nigrians we don't know. May be you are calling on Nigeriians living in the space I don't know.

You can't possibly have "real time" transmission of results if the election election isn't done by electronic voting 😔

Thank you.

All aspects of our election are done manually, except accreditation. Why should someone then be talking about electronic transmission and virtual collation of data manually generated data?

The second point that most of these so called activists don't seem to understand is that the results generated at a polling unit is subject to verification at ward collation level and if discrepancies are found the PO is asked to reconcile his submission. How can this be done virtually?

What the agitators should be asking for is electronic voting, not electronic transmission of results. With electronic voting, one needs no manual collation. But as long as election data are generated manually, collation must also be manual.

Fair analysis.
I was just responding to the chap trying to clam printing will be expensive.

Even if Obi wins, He cannot change Nigeria. He does not have the capacity. Though, an Igbo would have become the president which is what Igbo wants. I wish Nigeria well. I would have preferred a 7 year one term rotational presidency in a quasi presidential and parliamentary type of system in Nigeria. This will help to deliver a working system fulfilling the yearning of regional/states confederacy and also balance the perceptiveness of marginalisation which is the main reason crippling the developmental efforts of governments over the years. I hope that we have a leader who can be able to bring about this changes. Else, l cannot guarantee Nigeria will be out of this cyclical situation in 50 years.

LoL...nothing like real time transmission in naija , a lot of things could go wrong on that day , hackers on standby , network glitch , poor internet connectivity , malfunctioning devices, etc ...
If elections results are contested in courts , total invalidation of results not transmitted Real time will be canvassed....That will not happen....The Government in power will never allow that to happen , So , deal with it

You made a beautiful Statement,which Others are just perambulating 👍👏.
Real Time = Real Transmission of Voters Results,
So we have Problems here,no matter how good the Voting may be!

I have a question . What if on Election Day there is bad network ( happens during our elections ) , if there is no alternative to real time transmission , what will happen ? Politicians can be really desperate to point of jamming network or destroying network stations in areas their opponents are strong . Is there a way out if such a scenario comes up and it is widespread ?

1.Does the electronically transmitted result play any role in the actual collation of results?
2. If hackers gain access to the servers and alter any of the results, how do you resolve this discrepancy? If your answer is to resort back to the results in the form EC8, then what is the fuss about the electronic transmission?
3. If you agree with (2) and still argue that electronic transmission ensures electoral integrity, then you don’t know what you’re doing
4. If results in the EC8 are altered, the only way to resolve it is to crosscheck the copies of the results submitted to the police and party agents, so where does the transmitted results play any role significant role in collation of the final results?

Electronic transmission of NONSENSE (scanned copies of election results)
In addition to uploading the scanned copies of election results, there should be a way to enter the raw data of election results. Having the raw data would allow for easy tabulation and summation of election results.
Imagine a supermarket where they upload scanned copies of payment receipts without entering the actual figures into the system. That's utter RUBBISH.

Real time in this context means immediately after conclusion of elections

We're demanding that the INEC Presiding officers in each polling units should snap and upload the election results to the portal

That is to tell you that most Nigerians don't know what real time means.

What they should be asking for are:

1. Transmission of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) records to the IREV portal.
2. Inputting of election results in figures to the IREV portal. This would allow for easy tabulation and summation of results.
3. Uploading of scanned result sheets immediately after the announcement of election results.
4. Uploading of video recordings of the announcement of election results.

Most people shouting real time transition do not understand what real time transition really means. We are not voting electronically, there fore there is no where real-time transition of result is applicable here

Heffalump:
Real-Time Transmission of electoral results or nothing.

If the opposition is not working hard to get the attention of the international community on this, then they're not going anywhere. We have a criminal as president. He can do anything to sit tight.

APC in their opposition days went to America to lobby with Obama. Trump is ready to work hand-in-hand with Nigeria to ensure the appropriate things are done. If Nigeria get it right, believe me many African countries will follow suit.

This is not about the opposition party it is about we the electorates because we will have power over the politicians.
Reasonable people will be contested knowing fully well their vote will be counted
Criminals will not elected to rule us because our votes is our power.
If a politician fail to perform next coming election we vote such person out.

The choice is our hands to use this opportunity to demand for real time transmission after all it our right and tax money.

How can Nigerians insist on real-time transmission?

ebuk4real:
Only criminals are afraid of real time transmission of collated election results. Till now, I am yet to see any APC person in support of it because they are certified criminals.Clowns

It is really nauseating I tell you. Very useless band of criminals.

Now that people have audacity of tapping NSA phone,the integrity of any e transmission of election results in 2027 is highly suspicious.

I will implore all serious political parties to get trusted polling agents to represent them at all pooling booth because Form EC8A will still remain the most reliable and verifiable source of evidence during post election court cases come 2027.

PDPdestroyer:
You know most of those things called Obidients just parrot anything they see online without any understanding whatsoever.
How can you transfer a vote cast by the physical ballot in “real-time”? Most of them actually don’t know the meaning of the word, while the few who know the meaning are simply being mischievous

I actually understand what they’re up to - they know they possibly can’t win the election, the hype has faded, they just want to use this to create a means of nullifying the elections in court by arguing that the entire results failed to follow the electoral act because not the entire results were 100% transmitted in real-time, which doesn’t make any sense since we don’t vote electronically.

An interesting question to ask them is “what determines whether a result was transmitted in real-time or not?”…..because in real-time means without “noticeable delay”, which is quite ambiguous, so at what point in time (in absolute terms) do you classify a result transmitted as “not in real-time”?

Thank you for tha brilliant observation.

This noise is all about looking for excuse to use after the election.
Nigerian vote on paper ballot, so are they supposed to transmit once each person cast their vote or what?

The only logical way is for the polling officers to collate the votes after the voting period and transmit it to the IREV which is already part of the law.
What they are trying to do is to make it sound like if anything goes wrong with transmission then the election must have been rigged.
These are nothing but already sore losers. They can see the handwriting on the wall already.

This is the only way to deepen democracy in Nigeria and hold political office holders accountable. You'll see how the country will be transformed overnight.

Telling opposition to call on western powers is dead on arrival cos western countries dont do electronic voting or transfers .

Yes exactly the politicians will be caution of what they do

Zionmdde:
Those you mentioned just want votes to count. They want to vote, their votes counted, results uploaded on the portal in their presence, they go to inec result portal and find their own results there. How mischievous is that?

Those people at the forefront are heroes of democracy, far better than asslickers and chained tinubu slaves who will never ask when Nigeria will be better for they and their children

How can we guarantee the integrity of election e transmission when we already have some political actors confessing openly to tapping of NSA phone, then the fear of hacking of INEC server can't be ignored.Form EC8A may still remain the only verifiable and reliable source of evident in the post election court cases come 2027.

Very correct.Simple as abc , but some people just like to propagate anything their political heroes said or supported without careful examination.

I remember there ince server wahala dat time they are shouting Inec server

Sometimes many Nigerians love to just waste their time on things they already know the truth. Peter obi and his senseless followers thinks they are smart. If it comes to buying everything possible to win an election how can they out spend the ruling party? In terms of hiring tech gurus to rig. Do you people think the president is a senseless like you guys? Do you know that rigging is one thing that Peter obi benefited from to became a governor and also his second tenure. Also the kangaroo LG election he organised 2 months before he existed as governor. And the election that brought obiano. Peter is the highest rigger as far as election malpractices are concerned. Peter obi is living under a curse he brought to himself. So people should stop wasting their time but ask him to go back Anambra people APGA to apologise and ask for forgiveness than coming out and thinking he can manipulate people. Until he is able to do that first . Peter Obi betrayed himself and denied himself politically. He will keep crying and wasting his occultic money . Anambra people gave Peter the chance but he messed Anamvra up big time and thing Nigeria is Anambra.
