The Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) has assured that it would conduct a model election, advising the electorate to come to the voting centers with cameras to capture any ugly event that may unfold.

The Resident Electoral Commissioner of Anambra State, Engineer Edwin Nwatarali who made the call yesterday at a stakeholders meeting organized by the commission, said the tapping of events will help forestall sharp practices by staff of the commission.

Nwatarali made the call while reacting to a question by a stakeholder who insisted that INEC staff were fond of giving out unused ballot papers to some political parties who thumbprint them in favour of their party.

“That is a grave allegation, and no one can come here and make such spurious allegation without proof. It is very wrong to stand up and make such claims without evidence, and I will not sit down next time and watch this happen.

“Never the less, electorates are advised to come to the polling centers with their cameras, so that they will be able to capture any of such incidences that play out. That is the only time you can make such claims with evidence,” He said.

The REC also advised people who do not have the permanent voters card not to bother coming close to the voting centres as there will be three layers of security all around every polling unit.

Reacting to questions on why the commission can not stop the PDP from fielding multiple candidates in Anambra state, Nwatarali said it was not the duty of INEC to present candidates to the party, rather the parties are charged to present one.

He further stated that INEC does not conduct elections for individuals, but for political parties, noting that it is the reason why only names of political parties are found on the ballot papers.

He further said that INEC list on the names of candidates was clear, and that only those whose names were on the list are authentic candidates standing for elections, even though it is all subject to the decision of the court.

There is already an existing tech that can do that effectively and remotely. They are called drones. They can be used to capture aerial views of all the happenings around the polling unit. Mobile phones can also be used but it may be a whole lot riskier.

hope soldiers go allow person use am.

Impressive.

Yet me thinks there's something that's not alright with this election.@ spy watch for sale for interested buyers.






Also front page things in this new month, Baba God noni.

Wait before nko? Why won't we go with our camera?

No be any how camera, cos if gbege happen na person wey them sight dey record or take picture na him them go first attack, best thing is to use coded recording or picture taking devices to capture such irregularities

Jonathan gave the nation. Now votes are beginning to count!

To INEC, why not take this further and have official cctv of every polling centre. The technology is cheap and affordable.

Good news, atleast this will reduce the rate at which some political parties will rig...

Please if you are going to the polling unit with your camera ensure you are very careful, because this are desperate times for some politicians and anything/everything can happen at a polling unit...

yes this is a good development cameras are used last year governorship election in osun state on Aug 9th.

Before nko. My Spy pen camera with 8gb micro SD bought just for feb14 was already on standby. Change is inevitable.

No southerner should try this in the Core North.......... Bauchi, Bornu, Katsina, Yobe etc. This is actually an automatic ticket to go and visit your creator in those parts.

Of course we will go there with our phones and take pictures and videos and broadcast them on twitter, youtube, bbm, whatsapp, fb, and instagram! We'd do the observing ourselves since Jonathan has decided to deny foreign journalist the chance to record the events in the election.

This is gonna be an entirely different election.

God be with us.

INEC is only making it official so that your camera will not be seized.

PDP will not be offered an opportunity to rig?

its a good thing they changed their minds,I listened to an interview where an inec official said if you went to the polling centre with ur cam it would be seized and stuff,I was wondering why??

We should really thank GOD for giving us GEJ. GEJ is really showing us what democracy should be or is all about.

He gave us freedom of speech.

He gave access to government informatio (FIB).

He told us that our votes will count and he is standing by it by allowing INEC to allow CAMERAS in polling units. Try this in OBJ‘s time and recieve the beating of your life from security men.

Please get your PVC ready let us vote in the man that believes it is one man, one vote. The man that made our votes to count. The man that says his ambition does not worth any Nigerian‘s blood...

VOTE for the CHANGE we KNOW...


Vote for Goodluck Ebele Jonathan...

I still have pictures from the last elections.
If I want to take pictures with my phone, I wait for the person that will take it as long as I am the statutory distance away from the ballot boxes

Even if INEC doesn't say it, we already know nahh! Camera drones will be use, so PDP watchout.

We were still voting in Edo state while our governor was churning out names of his stooges. Cameras didn't stop Oshiomhole from announcing his preferred candidates at Edo local government election.

Anyway we have GEJ to thank for election transparency.
