I support amendments 1, 2 & 3. No 4 is inconsistent with the powers of the Courts, it is only they that should decide whether or whether not a fine should be attached or whether a suit is frivolous or not. 27 Likes |

No 3 still doesn’t state that the electronic transmission must happen at the polling unit. Without that caveat, a presiding officer can still conduct the election and decide that he doesn’t want to transmit the result at the polling unit, he can do it at his office as long as he does it electronically 77 Likes 5 Shares |

Transmitting the votes electronically does not mean there will be 100% transparency. During the 2023 presidential election, even though Tinubu and Atiku won some polling units in Anambra state, the results were changed by INEC staff in favor of peter obi. https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/tribunal-how-peter-obi-rigged-out-atiku-in-anambra-witness/%3famp 6 Likes 1 Share |

They should be a heavy fine on a party who prevent others from voting for a candidate of their choice. Like what some people were prevented from voting in Lagos 15 Likes |

I’m surprised this kind of bill is coming from an APC Rep Member. But the big question is, will Tinubu sign it if the lawmakers pass it? I guess not. Because that would be signing his death warrant. I like especially, the proposal that all elections be held on same day. Had all elections held on same day in the last election, Labour Party would have had nothing less than 10 governors right now. I hate the bandwagon effect that comes with whoever is declared president (rightly or wrongly). His party is always has an edge during the governorship elections. So, that’s a good proposal. Then, mandatory electronic transmission of votes is another good one. But I didn’t see the punishment for failure to do so. I propose that there should be stringent punishment that would be meted on any INEC staff that fails to keep to any letters of the Electoral Act. And such failure should also invalidate such elections. But then, will Tinubu sign it? 26 Likes 2 Shares |

Penguin2: I think they’re trying to fool Nigerians again. Requiring electronic transmission without stating that it must happen at the polling unit or be voided will get the hopes of Nigerians high again but the courts and lawyers will again interpret the line to mean they didn’t break any law I’m quite sure that lawyers were conducted prior to presenting that bill 9 Likes |

socialmediaman:There is going to be a public hearing where some of these amendments can be discussed including others not captured for now. It's a first step and very commendable, especially as it is coming less than one year into the 10th Assembly. 3 Likes |

fergie001: This section should be amended to include that the presiding officer shall transfer and/or transmit the results electronically right at the polling unit Also, collation should be done electronically 10 Likes 2 Shares |

1. Proposal one is a waste of money for government and waste of time for citizens unless we can do online for those who already registered. It will simply discourage existing voters. 2. This will only increase electoral violence as no candidates are under spotlight. Off-cycle elections are less violence-prone on average to full elections. It will also increase the bandwagon effect that the lawmaker is trying to fight. Incompetent candidates will simply get elected because another popular candidate is on the ballot for a different position. A better proposal is to hold the governorship elections first, then presidential to follow. In that way, the bandwagon effects will be removed. 3. This one makes sense but it achieves nothing if it doesn't recognise online collation. So after transmission, then what? 4. Make sense. My proposal 5. It is time to prune our political parties by deregistering parties with less than 10M members in national elections and 5% of states population in local ones. Or political parties should pay substantial application fees to be featured on ballots to prevent wastage from printing of mushroom party logos. 3 Likes |

I am not moved or impressed one bit. The legislative, executive, security agencies and INEC are all stakeholders in the criminal capture of state. Same problem, same cycle of oppression 5 Likes 1 Share |

Bunch animals parading themselves as dishonorable members while the whole system is wrecked. APC is a party Satan gave Nigeria; and until that Son of Perdition called Buhari is arrested, tried and prosecuted with Emefiele, the mystery of the naira fall would remain elusive because that Son of perdition printed Trillions of naira illegally in the CBN with his Fulani cousins and nephews hence causing a hyper inflation in the system. If not, tell me where the quantum volume of naira to be repeatedly exchanged unabated with dollar is coming from. Naira has a volume and that quantum of volume has been abused or naira no dey finish? The goods as of today do not March up the cash in the system. This is pure economic indices. It was because of the economic calamity of the Fulani animals at the helm under that Son of perdition that abused the value of naira |
