The Independent National Electoral Commission has asked the National Assembly to revisit the Electoral Act amendment bill, assuring that it has the capacity and technical know-how to undertake electronic transmission of election results throughout the country.
INEC called on the Senate and House of Representatives to quickly amend Sections 63, 65 and other relevant sections of the Electoral Act, which bar the commission from a collation of election results electronically.
INEC’s National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education, Festus Okoye, insisted that the electronic transmission of results in real-time was the best guarantee of transparency.
Okoye says for such to become a reality, the National Assembly must show courage by amending the relevant sections of the Electoral Act.
