Kaduna Adopts Electronic Voting For LG Elections by PDPGuy(op): 9:06am On Jul 11, 2017
Kaduna state has indicated its readiness to conduct 2019 election with electronic voting system. The state governor, Nasir El Rufai, made this known on Monday July 10. The machines to be used for the LG election have a terminal weight of 5-10kg and have a 16 hours battery life span.

He said: "Today, we plan to consider two presentations - on electronic voting for the forthcoming LG Elections and Primary Healthcare Delivery Plan, as well as treat 14 memoranda and notes. The presentation on LG elections included demonstration of voting by four members of the Council."

The governor also noted in series of tweets that his government want the state to set the pace for electronic voting in Nigeria. According to him, top countries like Venezuela, USA, Belgium, Brazil among others have gone this way.

Based on which Electoral Act?
The constitution gives both the National Assembly and state houses of assembly concurrent jurisdiction to make laws governing the conduct of LG elections. But no state law, in that regard, can conflict with the federal Electoral Act. However, by 2019, the federal Electoral Act would most likely incorporate electronic voting as the Senate version of the Electoral Act (amendment) provides for the use of voting by voting machines.
