A team of technical personnel from the Electoral Commission of India (ECI) and Bharat Electronic Limited at the weekend demonstrated the electronic voting machines (EVM) which, they said, would eliminate the challenges of electoral fraud and multiple voting in Nigeria. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Before the presentation, Fashola advocated electronic voting system for the conduct of elections in the country, noting that it would not only save the country a lot of funds and stress experienced during in the voting process.http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/indian-experts-visit-fashola-demonstrate-e-voting-machines/196767/ 6 Likes 1 Share |

I'm absolutely in support of Fashola's idea! Here's what I gleaned from the Indian voting machine Wikipedia page: "- EVMs are powered by an ordinary 6 volt alkaline battery manufactured by Bharat Electronics Ltd., Bangalore and Electronic Corporation of India Ltd., Hyderabad. This design enables the use of EVMs throughout the country without interruptions because several parts of India do not have power supply and/or erratic power supply. Due to the low voltage, there is absolutely no risk of any voter getting an electric shock. -Currently, an EVM can record a maximum of 3840 votes, which is sufficient for a polling station as they typically have no more than 1400 voters assigned. Currently, an EVM can cater to a maximum of 64 candidates. There is provision for 16 candidates in a Balloting Unit. If the total number of candidates exceeds 16, a second Balloting Unit can be linked parallel to the first Balloting Unit and so on till a maximum of 4 units and 64 candidates. The conventional ballot paper/box method of polling is used if the number of candidates exceeds 64. - It is not possible to vote more than once by pressing the button again and again. As soon as a particular button on the Balloting Unit is pressed, the vote is recorded for that particular candidate and the machine gets locked. Even if one presses that button further or any other button, no further vote will be recorded. This way the EVMs ensure the principle of "one person, one vote. - The vote-counting is very fast and the result can be declared within 2 to 3 hours. The maximum number of votes that can be cast in a single EVM is 3840." cc Seun, mukina2, 8 Likes |

Dear Lord, what a visionary leader we have in the Person of BRF. This is a welcome development, it's time to start putting the electorate to vote on stuff as this. I believe this would give us a free, fair and 85% credible election. 36 Likes 2 Shares |

If INEC and their paymasters were serious about combating electoral fraud, this should have been done years ago but the whole system in nigeria benefits from the tedious, manual counting as it suits their whole agenda of rigging by dabaru and confusion. 44 Likes 5 Shares |
