Nigerian senators want electronic transmission of election results from 2007

The Senate has proposed that from 2007 all election results and results sheets used at collation centres should be electronically transmitted to the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission in Abuja before final declaration of the winners of the elections.

“Relating to the use of technology in elections, remove the ambiguity evident in Section 64 of the EA22. Also, make electronic transmission of results mandatory from the next general elections in 2027, including the uploading of polling unit-level results and result sheets used at different levels of result collation,” the communique reads.

“Relating to political parties; stipulate sanctions for failure to submit the register of party members not later than 30 days before the date of party primaries, congresses, or conventions in relation to Section 77 EA22, which the political parties have observed in the breach in the 2023 elections without penalty.”The senators also recommended the unbundling of INEC to improve its efficiency and effectiveness.

“Develop and enact a comprehensive national security strategy that outlines the nation’s security objectives, threats, and policy priorities. Such a strategy can serve as a guiding framework for legislative action in the security sector,” the communique states. The lawmakers also recommended independent oversight of all the security apparatus in order to strengthen the functions of the security agencies.
