Why Nigeria must adopt electronic voting, by SIECOM boss

Independent Electoral Commission , Saratu Dikko-Audu has said Nigeria has to adopt full-fledged electronic voting if the country is truly committed to free, fair, and transparent elections.

According to Dikko-Audu, “Kaduna State Independent Electoral Commission is the first to introduce electronic voting in Nigeria because our former Governor was personate about introducing electronic voting in the electoral space in Nigeria. “So, we would advocate it for elections all over Nigeria. We are not blowing our trumpet, but I think Kaduna State has done well because the electronic voting machine system is so transparent that you just cannot rig the election anywhere. If we are really serious about transparent elections, that is the way to go.“So, we pushing that agenda of electronic voting to the Federal Government to buy into it, because we think it is the way to go if we really want credible elections in Nigeria.

Earlier, the CEO of TAF Africa, a frontline advocacy organization for the rights of People With Disabilities, Jake Epelle called for the creation of a disability desk in the SIECOM, waiver for PWD Candidates, and full inclusion of PWDs in the entire electoral process in the state.
