As long as there is no electronic transmission of results from polling units. Inec and not nigerians will be the one to decide the number of vote each candidate gets. That can hardly be called a democracy.

Parachoko:
I'm waiting to see if Obi and Atiku will choose to waste money going to the tribunal

BluntCrazeMan:
Ok.




I no wan respond to you.

BluntCrazeMan:
WHAT EXACTLY DID THE ELECTORAL ACT SAY ABOUT THE ELECTION RESULTS.??

***(This piece might be very long, but then, if you really need more insight about the electronic transmission wahalla, and what the Electoral Act really says about it, then you have to try and read through to the end..)

I am going to be dropping the quotes, with little comments after them.



For those that would argue that the INEC Guidelines are not recognised by the Electoral Act.., the Section-148 had provided answers to that argument.

Even though the INEC Guidelines should not override the Electoral Act,, but then, wherever the Electoral Act give powers to the “Commission”, then the words that are contained inside the “INEC Guidelines” and “Manuals” would become the Authentic Law with respect to those sections where the Electoral Act gave powers to the Commission..

---

Refer back to Section-148..
The “INEC Guidelines” fully prescribed the manner for the “Transmission” of the results. Inside the INEC Guidelines, the INEC made it very clear that they developed a system known as the “Collation Support and Result Verification System” (CSRVS), in order facilitate the “TRANSMISSION” of Results and Accreditation Data.

It should be made very clear at this point; that the Online Results-Viewing Portal (IREV) is just the platform for the public to view the supposed Polling-Units Results that were uploaded to the online viewing portal,, AND NOT THE REQUIRED PLATFORM WHICH THE INEC DEDICATED FOR THE ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION AND COLLATION AND VERIFICATION OF RESULTS, AS POINTED OUT INSIDE THE ELECTORAL ACT.

The platform for the E-transmission and E-collation as required by the Electoral Act is the CSRVS, and not really the IREV.




The Commission, as referred to in this Act, is the INEC.

Refer back to Section-148..
The INEC fully prescribed the manner for the “Transfer” of the results (including the “transfer” of the total number of accredited voters) inside the INEC Guidelines.



Take note of the word “Deliver” in the Section-62(1); which is totally different from the word “Transfer” which was used in Section-60(5)..

***(This might be the ONLY part of the Electoral Act which the INEC-Chairman read, and believed that the Electoral Act provided for ONLY the Manual Delivery of the Results)..

Also note that the Electoral Act also didn't expressly dictate the exact methods of collation to be deployed.
But then, no matter the method of Collation used,, Section-64 should be checks-and-balances tool which must be applied.
And there is a strong penalty for violating Section-64.


NOW, LET US TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT SECTION-64..


A result -- According to Section-64(9) -- is regarded as “False Result” if it didn't follow the procedures specified in Section-64(6)-(a-to-d).. -- which is, Electronic Transmission and Collation, and Verification.




Going by Section-65(1):
It simply means that the returning officer can upturn the decisions of the Presiding Officer, or those of the collation officers if -- within the review period -- there were errors which the returning officer had corrected.











I PURPOSELY DID NOT DROP ANY QUOTES FROM THE “INEC GUIDELINES”..
SO THAT WE WON'T CONFUSE OURSELVES..

ALL THE QUOTES WHICH I HAVE DROPPED HERE ARE ALL QUOTED ENTIRELY FROM THE ELECTORAL ACT OF 2022.

seunmsg:
The results have been transmitted to irev already so what your point again?

nnamdi640:
You see all this constitutions you are posting here will one day be used against you guys, in life you don't always win all the times. Enjoy your victory why it last.

BluntCrazeMan:
It's their money..




If they choose to waste their money, it's supposed to be their problem..

Not Your Problem..

kozmokaz:


Na learned people de comment here abeg

Putindbutt:

Loser, go and respond in court and stop disturbing us with your stupid threads.

Goke7:
none of the two candidates challenging the elections had the spread to be declared winner, it will be difficult for them to reclaim any stolen mandate if any was even stolen, how?

Complaining of technical hitches can never invalidate an election, na waste of time

seunmsg:
The results have been transmitted to irev already so what your point again?

ppogba:



Does that invalidate the results collated at the units and wards which were duly signed by all agents and INEC in the presence of voters?

BluntCrazeMan:
Very Simple..


ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION is in the Electoral Act 2022..

onuman:


The proclaimed winner had no spread either, because his results were mostly forged.
Imagine for example, Tinubu winning Rivers state. Rivers people are up in arms against the robbery of election in their state. We must not allow Buhari cabal that wants to continue in office through Shettima as effective president with aged and sickly Tinubu as figure head president, to set fire on Nigeria.

Putindbutt:

The thief is more reasonable than you. If you don't want to go to court, go out in the street and start burning properties. When the same Obi lost in Anambra, where did he go to?.. was it not the same court?.. you guys that support Obi are a bunch of dunces

BluntCrazeMan:
What happened to “Read And Pass”.??

BluntCrazeMan:
The Electoral Act didn't say Manual Transmission Either..
So, nobody should go and assume what the Electoral Act didn't actually say .



Section-148 still comes into play.
There is an ambiguity in what you're saying here.
This is now a situation of “Either this or that.”...

Thus,, the Electoral Act gave the Commission the power to make laws through GUIDELINES AND MANUALS, in order to make ambiguous sections clearer..

dyera:


That's is what I am saying na, if the results are not recorded and uploaded, then transmitted immediately in the presence of agents and voters, it will be possible for Inec officials to change the results.

senatordave1:


It is simple.transmission can be manual or electronic.not transmitting it electronically does not invalidate the result.non transmission invalidates the results

BluntCrazeMan:
Don't always be emotional.


Read to understand first.

Putindbutt:

Cancel the entire votes from Rivets, Obi would still not come second. As long as he will never win SW and North, he can never be President and he knows it too.

Racoon:
It is not debatable. The provisions are well spelt out.

floret23:
With Obi's 10 million votes?

Parachoko:
I'm waiting to see if Obi and Atiku will choose to waste money going to the tribunal

nnamdi640:
Lol. You can say what you want but be rest assured that the same constitution will be used against you guys. Thank God the number that voted against him was twice and more than those that voted for him despite that the election was rigged and that is a bad signal

Putindbutt:

From which regions?

BluntCrazeMan:
I also hope that I have done justice to the INEC’s concepts of the “IREV-Portal” and that of the “CSRVS Collation System”..




**MODIFIED....

For Those That Are Saying One-or-Two Things About “MANUAL TRANSMISSION”....
(... Just because the phrase “Transmitted DIRECTLY From The Polling Units”, didn't have the word “Electronically” inserted inside it, nor had any form of technological innovation expressed in the phrase ...)

The truth is..
There is nothing like the so-called Manual Transmission mentioned inside the Electoral Act Either..
Thus, there is no need assuming it At-all..

In fact, the usage of the phrase in the Act and functions of the so-called “Transmission” best describes an “Electronic Transmission” more than it describes a “Manual Transmission”.

It's far easier to doctor a result uploaded ( this is the era of cloning etc in the technology space) than for INEC officials to change results that are in multiple copies given to various people.
Do you think aside the hard copies handed to the party agents, most of them do not have the results snapped with their phones?
