Solution:
In situations of over voting, Why not just deduct the invalid votes(over votes) and count the rest, the BVAS already identifies the number of over votes(invalid votes), doing so, INEC will avoid a lot of election tribunals, scheming by politicians, reduce cost of doing reruns, make more accurate results, increase voters confidence, reduce time wasting, reflect the true will of the people and avoid anarchy.

Please can you explain why?

A crime as been committed and those involved should be severely punished in this case the INEC official that supervised the fraud of bypassing BVAS n allowing over voting.

The next is the motive who does the over voting favour if they have been allowed to get away with it ? This is what police use on unraveling murder case across the globe.

The person should also be punished. BVAS from this election as proven to be beta than INEC explained in the sense that it detected the over voting thay as always been the bane of Nigeria election.

If iNEC personal never tampered with election result there will be no contradicting # of voters.. The right n only solution is for iNEC to have trustworthy official manning every polling both. If that is not possible considering the greed by Nigerians n fact that politicains will pay whatever to have results manipulated, every polling unit with manipulated result should be discarded total.

While this may souls harsh it should be noted that each party as an agent monitoring procedure. For Adeleke to manipulate in various center both the APC n PDP officials representing at the party and the electoral official must have been compromised and should be jailed to deter others.



. Done

this does not solve the problem because politicians will scheme, just what if it was APC who connived with the INEC officials in those polling units knowing it PDP's stronghold to cause over voting just to cancel the polling unit to favour APC, you see why the polling unit cancellation is flawed.

Your logics is amazing..

You mean APC instead of pushing to win the election by encouraging their supporters to vote for them, will instead use those supporters to be causing over voting at 700 polling units, that they don't even know whether they will win or lose?

Let's assume they deploy 100 people per unit to achieve this(and they will need more, possibly 400 per unit to guarantee over voting)

That is at least 70,000 votes wasted on over voting...enough margin to win the election.

This your logic is made in Alaba

With BVAS anyone who does over voting, the vote will be invalid and deleted after proper verification while the valid votes will still be counted, it will discourage anyone from trying to scheme or do over voting because in the end it will be a total waste of time and resources...

Bragalane:
You then need to ask if BVAS capture what party each individual voted, if it does not how do you sort valid n BVAS verified vote from the invalid vote that led to over voting ?

Brendaniel:


You guys are so focused on the party that the over votes went for, that is not even the concern here, the BVAS identifies votes that were not accredited with the BVAS, it does not matter who the person, in fact we don't want to know who the over votes went, just delete the over votes because it was not accredited.

This is not party matter, invalid votes is invalid votes, just remove it and count the rest, we don't care who the invalid votes were for, the main purpose of the BVAS was to do that in the first place .

If you cancel the entire polling unit, that is like throwing away a baby with the bath water when you can simply remove the baby and throw away the bath water...

Bragalane:
And those that perpetuate the fraud should be allowed to smile to the bank so how will that deter such criminalities on the future.

SmartPolician:
I'm afraid the first and second points you made wouldn't let me read the rest of the piece because it shows you don't even understand what you are writing about.

Your #1 is impossible because parties that have a structure also have party agents that monitor their votes. What happened in Osun is a situation where INEC and PDP agents connived to alter the true results of the election. Now, it has backfired.

#2 shows that you don't know how BVAS works. To be fair, I will mention you in a comment I explained it.

Good morning.
