The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has ruled out the adoption of electronic voting method in the country in the nearest future.

An INEC National Commissioner, Professor Okey Ibeanu argued the country was not ripe for electronic voting because of the absence of “robust technical and physical infrastructure.”

Prof Ibeanu noted that t there were key factors to be taken into consideration before e-voting could be adopted in the country, which he said, include stable power supply and the ability of electorate to conquer their “fundamental trust issues in the system”, by believing in the capability of the electoral body to function independently without external manipulations.



He spoke in Abuja on Monday at the “Stakeholders’ forum on future of elections in Nigeria, put together by the Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room (NCSSR), with the support of the British Department for International Development (DFID).

INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmoud Yakubu, said the commission has embarked on a comprehensive review of processes and procedures it adopted for the 2019 general elections.

Yakubu, who was represented by another National Commissioner, Festus Okoye, assured that INEC would, at the end of the review exercise, work with the National Assembly to propose an alteration of the constitution and legal framework on critical issues that posed challenges to the 2019 general elections.


INEC said it would harp on high-level of professionalism for security agencies that would be deployed for future elections, stressing that issues relating to neutrality and conduct of security personnel deployed for election duties would be reviewed with a view to improving their ethical conduct.

Responding to Prof Ibeanu’s submission, representatives of the Nigerian Army (NA) and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) argued the introduction of electronic voting system/e-collation was the only way to stop electoral violence and rigging of elections.

Brigadier General Felix Omoigui, who represented the Army was of the view that electronic voting was the only way forward for subsequent elections.

He said: “Situations where thugs abduct INEC officials at collation centers or en-route collation centres will be largely nipped in the bud. Furthermore, efforts should be made to ensure that all Wards, where elections will be held subsequently are provided with effective communication facilities to mitigate issues of the poor network that could mar the electronic voting.

“We know that we have issues with this, but if we are able to work at it, it will go a long way to solving the problem. The other recommendation is the strengthening of the capacity of the Nigerian Police. We need to fully equip, arm and train the Nigerian Police to effectively provide the needed security at the polling units and collation centers.

“This will not only dissuade the perpetrators of electoral violence but will also reposition the police to effectively combat other criminal acts. During the conduct of the last election, there was a particular polling booth where thugs were snatching boxes and there was only one policeman and he was not armed. He was just running all over the place, it was so disheartening”.

Omoigui, who sought stiffer punishment for electoral offenders, noted that thuggery and violence during the last elections were promoted by “greedy and unscrupulous politicians who deploy all forms of tactics to win elections at all cost”

“Strengthening the electoral laws and tribunals to prosecute and punish electoral thugs and their sponsors with a jail term of not less than four years until the next general elections, will deter the would-be perpetrators of violence”, he added.

The Commandant General of the NSCDC, Abdullahi Gana was also of the view that electronic voting “will clearly put an end to the orgies of killings associated with thuggery before, during and after elections in Nigeria, as well as minimize the incidence of the rigging of elections in Nigeria.”

Levant:
Electronic voting using thumbprint will help eliminate rigging. But then the distrust for inec will play and accusations that inec can ring the process will start. Therefore, along with electronic voting using thumbprint (to eliminate double or multiple voting and ensure one man, one vote), do away with the secret ballot. The process should be transparent or partially transparent at least. An electronic scoreboard at polling units should be mounted. Once a vote is made, the scoreboard changes. The people can follow up on the process live. Then to provide safety for the voter, physical barriers can be put in place, whereby if a voter enters from one door, he will come out from another doorway to exit the polling unit (then place two scoreboards at the entrance and exit, so the voter can identify his vote has counted)...possibly with a long corridor in between the point of voting and the exit. No body will wait for you to finish voting and come back to collect beating. Alternatively to or in parallel with physical barrier, tight security should be put in place to prevent intimidation of voters.

But it is essential for electronic voting using thumbprint and two live scoreboards at each polling unit to be mounted. That's the only way to ensure no election is rig and make the election process credible in Nigeria and similar countries where rigging is the order of elections. Otherwise, those saying no today and smiling will suffer rigging tomorrow and cry. Its turn by turn until the process is fixed to eliminate the slightest chance of rigging.

Facts,

If only dummies would think outside APC/PDP partisan politics and understand that our Nigerian network coverage isn't 100% and our cyber, internet and all network Secuirity isnt all that.

A $100 RAT on darkweb , a good FUD crypter and knowledge of social engineering would completly jeopardise the system
.

AmazingELixir:
This guy why are you so retrogressive in reasoning your views are always devoid of logic and common sense.

Banking operations today are sharp departure from pre-2000 because the institution decided to embrace technology and do away with analog system...is the banking sector completely safe...the answer is no but they are increasingly making it better and safer, substantial progress have been achieved in that regard.

Our electoral process can not continue like this because it breeds distrust and manipulation, the only reason why people like you insist on maintaining the status quo is that it favour your kind where fictitious figures are conjured up even in war ravaged area.

A particular sections of the country will be the biggest losers of electronic voting because the process will lay bare their numerical concocted figures and stop their manipulation in its track, that is the only reason you lot oppose progressive change in our electoral processes.

Your wicked entrapment is waning it's just a matter of time before it all goes up in flames.

But is is right for election malpractice.It is ripe for collecting billions and literally do nothing with it. It is ripe enough to kill people who go out to vote(?) Nothing is impossible if we set our mind to do so.
