Senate Approves Electronic Voting For Elections


 Senate Approves Electronic Voting For Elections


The Nigerian Senate has approved the use of electronic voting in future elections and election results to be electronically transmitted in an encrypted and secured manner to collation centers, in order to prevent hacking.

"In the event of the death of a candidate during elections, before the announcement of the result, that the commission (INEC), shall suspend election for a period of 21 days and give the opportunity to the party whose candidate had died; if the party has interest that is, to continue with the election.

The reason for stating this according to him, was because there were several issues in which some persons had said that "the running mate should take over, some are saying that the runner up in the primary election should be considered.
