SHOULD NIGERIA SWITCH TO 100% ELECTRONIC VOTING

  • Daven

    Nigeria’s elections have often been plagued by ballot box snatching, vote buying, and long delays in announcing results. Many believe the solution lies in fully adopting electronic voting.

     

    Electronic voting would allow citizens to cast their ballots through machines or secure digital platforms, with results transmitted instantly to collation centers. Supporters say this would reduce electoral fraud, speed up counting, and make elections more transparent.

     

    Countries like Brazil, India, and Estonia have successfully used electronic voting for years. Advocates believe Nigeria could follow suit, especially now that mobile technology and internet access are expanding across the country.

     

    However, critics worry about hacking, technical failures, and the lack of internet coverage in some rural areas. They also question whether the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has the capacity and trustworthiness to manage such a sensitive system.

     

    As 2027 approaches, the debate is growing: Should Nigeria embrace 100% electronic voting, or stick to the current paper ballot system?
