They make a good point about the cost however what are we going to do about the elected officials who were recently voted in or those about to finish? And how will we manage the security situation, give the people enough time to pick a suitable candidate when the airwaves will be filled with adverts for those with the most money? |

yanabasee1:Good Development Even with different days for election, INEC is still having problem.The parties are worried about sharing money twice, when they share it once and get the same result |
| Re: Political Parties, Others Want All Elections Held In 1 Day by Farki: 4:43pm On Feb 10, 2021 |
brainpulse:Having the election in one day is seriously impractical because of the logistics involved in counting them all three times over. |

Okay...All elections should be rigged in a day. |

Of course. No be to cast ballot? |
| Re: Political Parties, Others Want All Elections Held In 1 Day by Farki: 4:47pm On Feb 10, 2021 |
tutudesz:But it doesn't actually address the issue. For example Obaseki was voted in last year and the presidential election was held in 2019, will Obaseki's tenure be cut short or extended to accommodate this? It sounds nice on paper but I'm struggling to understand how this would work without causing civil uproar. |

Farki:The work load will be too much on that day, the least they can do is to hold all lawmakers election the same day(House of Assembly, house of Reps and Senate) and Governorship and presidential another day |

> GREAT idea (one that I have myself suggested numerous times). Same polling stations, same officials, same logistics, just modified ballot papers. The only ‘justification’ for the multiple-week elections is CORRUPTION. It allows more opportunities to steal/share money, bribe officials and steal elections. > |
| Re: Political Parties, Others Want All Elections Held In 1 Day by 9jaRealist: 4:56pm On Feb 10, 2021 |
tutudesz:WHY? Americans, Indians and others do it. It’s the same poll units, personnel, etc. Simply add more columns to the ballot papers. > |

Farki:EVERY democratic country has by-elections. It does not undermine the sensibility of holding ONE general election. For example, the US has ONE general election on ONE day every 4 years on the first Tuesday of November. Yet they hold by-elections every time a Senate, House or gubernatorial position becomes vacant (as well as mid-terms). > |

9jaRealist:No. Not everything is done on the same day in America. Senate elections, for example, vary based on when you were elected. The smart thing to do would be to hold all state governor elections two years before federal elections. For instance, if we elect a president in 2023, governors will be elected 2025. This would save time and reduce tensions |

Asides that, conducting all elections in one day would help to reduce rigging caused by presidential influence. In Nigeria the person and party that wins the presidency which is conducted first has enormous influence on the other elections which would otherwise won't av been so if all elections were held same day. My own proposal is this: (1)The law should be amended that all national and state elections be held same day;viz presidency, governorship,Senate,Reps and state assemblies.This is just 5 ballot papers.In some democracies there are sometimes 10 or 20 items one has to vote on in a single election day. (2)Let INEC be attended the responsibility of conducting all LG elections.Each LG chairman/councillor tenure should be for 4 years too,renewable for up to 2 terms too.However,the LG elections should be arranged in such a way that it falls midway between the national elections.It becomes more like a midterm nationwide election and an indirect way of judging the national government's performance. |

Nonsense, what difference will it make? Is it about the elections or the people who are representing us? |
