QUICK SUMMARY OF OUR ELECTORAL REFORMS REQUESTS:

(We are a civil society organization ed in Nigeria [name withheld].. We submitted our request for electoral reforms at the two national assembly houses, and also submitted same requests to the of electoral reform committees in the both houses.)

1. We requested for a Direct & Instant Electronic Transmission of the results into the “Digitized Electronic Collation System”, coupled with an Instant Electronic Collation of results.

2. We requested for a Direct & Instant ing of the photos of polling-units-results, and also ing of the photos of ALL the collated-results which were officially announced at all the collation levels.

3. We requested for a Compulsory and Immediate Forensic Auditing of all the election results at all levels, including the Forensic Auditing of the BVAS and the IREV, and also for all the papers and documents which were used for the election.

4. We requested that the CTCs of all tendered documents must be itted as evidence during the Petition Tribunals, and not to be regarded as “DUMPED”, (Let it not be that since there are no series of multiple witnesses to testify to the individual CTCs, then it wouldn't be itted.).

5. We requested that the staff of INEC (Both permanent and adhoc staff) must be identified with special unique staff-tag identity-numbers which gets re-issued for every election cycle, and every staff who signs any sheet must indicate his own unique staff-tag identity-number beside his name and signature on any of such sheets.

..

*** AND THEN,, IN THE ALTERNATIVE ***
SHOULD IN CASE THE SUGGESTED REFORMS WERE NOT SUCCESSFULLY ED INTO LAW.

Then, we suggested that the party-agents should brace-up, because they will now have lots of works to do during the elections, since the old Electoral Laws would still be the laws that are still in place.

a. The party-agents should be more meticulous and detailed while raising their disputes., and they should carefully note down all the noticed errors at any stage.

b. They should get the full names and positions of the INEC Officers, and write them down properly.

c. They should get video evidence of whenever the INEC officials are calling out the results, and also, get video evidence of when they themselves are raising the disputes and also when the INEC Officials are giving their own responses to the issues that were raised in the disputes.

d. They should make sure not to storm-out of the centers (or leave the centers) out of anger, no matter what the officials are doing.. And then, they must have to sign the sheets and indicate on the original sheet that they disagreed -- this could be done by writing “DISAGREE” on the sheet after g.

..

Instead of the shameless Lawmakers to push for strong Electoral Reforms,, they are busy defecting to the APC.

SUCH A SHAME.!!

*** MEANWHILE...

INEC had found it so comfortable to continue to deliberately refuse to fully abide by the dictates of the Electoral-Act-2022.

The INEC selects only some few portions of the Electoral-Act-2022 to abide with, while they discard the rest.

And therefore, it becomes necessary for the INEC to be forced to obey those portions of the Electoral-Act-2022 which they had continued to discard and disrespect.

..

I am of the opinion that any of the Opposition Political Parties should just wake-up, and step-up, and brave-up, and wise-up, and approach any of the Federal High Courts in the country in order to obtain “A Court-Order that mandates the INEC officials at every Collation Center at all levels of Collation to “COMPLETELY TREAT ALL THE DISPUTES THAT WERE RAISED BEFORE THEM -- AND THEY MUST DO THIS BY CALLING-UP FOR ALL THE BVAS-MACHINES OF ALL THE AFFECTED/DISPUTED POLLING-UNITS” -- in accordance with the dictates of the Electoral-Act-2022”.

.

The Court-Order should also state it very clearly that “any results which emanated from a Collation Center where the INEC’s Collation Officer did not COMPLETELY treat all the disputes that were raised -- according to the dictates of the Electoral-Act-2022 -- shall be Null-and-Void”

..
Here below is the context for the above opinion of mine.

When any of the Opposition Parties approaches the Federal High Court (with the Attorney-General and INEC as the defendants as usual), they should urge the Court to fully read the whole of Section:47 and Section:64 of the Electoral-Act-2022, and to determine whether there is a breach of the Electoral-Act-2022 if any of the following occurrences happen:

a. If the Collation Officer at any Collation Center refuses to treat the disputes that were raised at that Collation Center -- according to the procedures outlined in the Electoral-Act-2022.

b. If the Collation Officer at any intermediate-level Collation Center, instead of treating the disputes raised at that Collation Center (according to the procedures outlined in the Electoral-Act-2022), goes ahead to announce that “all the raised disputes would be fully treated at the final collation center”.

c. If the Collation Officer at any Collation Center refuses to call for ALL the BVAS-Machines (or any electronic Accreditation Device used for the Accreditation in the election) of ALL the affected polling-units that were raised in the disputes.

d. If the Collation Officer at any Collation Center could not completely treat and conclude ALL those disputes that were raised at that Collation Center before transmitting or transferring or conveying the collated results to the next-level collation officer.

.

If the court determines that ANY of the above acts constitute a breach of the Electoral-Act-2022, then the court should also go ahead to determine whether such breaches could be enough reasons to render the collated results emanating from the Collation Exercise at that Collation Center as Null-and-Void.

Furthermore, If after the Final Results of the election had already been announced and declared, and such breaches at some Collation Centers were established during the Election Petition Tribunal, the court should also determine whether such established breaches (at the Election Petition Tribunal) are enough to render the collated results emanating from those Collation Exercises at such Collation Centers as Null-and-Void.

And consequently, the court should also determine whether those “supposedly faulty collated results” which emanated from those Collation Centers where the breaches were established, shall be Expunged from all the Subsequent Collated Results that emanated from the upper-level Collation Centers -- (That is, assuming that there were no such similar breaches that were established at the upper-level Collation Centers in question)

After the whole interpretations, the court can now issue an order to the INEC in order for them to strictly abide the “Rules” during the Collation of Results.

..

..

The Fact that the INEC had not been properly and appropriately implementing the already-existing Electoral-Act-2022, it is a VERY BIG POINTER that even if we push for the New Electoral Reforms and have them in place,, THE INEC WILL STILL NOT IMPLEMENT THEM PROPERLY AND APPROPRIATELY AGAIN -- AS USUAL.

AND THERE IS NOTHING ANY OF US CAN DO ABOUT IT -- EVEN IF THEY ABANDONED THE NEW REFORMS IN WAYS THAT ARE WORSE THAN WHAT THEY DID TO THE ELECTORAL-ACT-2022, NOBODY IS GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

Just the way we are doing nothing now that they are Not implementing the existing Electoral-Act-2022 properly and appropriately,, we will still not do anything in the future if they still throw the new reforms aside and do things anyhow they liked.

LET US FIRST-OF-ALL FORCE THEM TO FULLY IMPLEMENT THE CURRENTLY EXISTING ELECTORAL-ACT-2022 PROPERLY AND APPROPRIATELY.
THEN WE CAN START TALKING ABOUT HAVING NEW REFORMS AND HOW TO FULLY IMPLEMENT THEM.

Good idea if they will ever do such

All of these lofty points are great if legislate into law.

Nice one

If tinubu is so sure of his popularity and the of his marauding governor's , get his boastfully sign this into law...

Then let's meet in the filed... Shebi he hold all the power, let's test something!

The large amount of fear in him won't let him sign it.

But this five points alone, if they get implemented, they would shake everywhere.!!

He will not sign it. Do ur worst.

INEC can train an OCR to automatically extract data from polling unit result sheet since they are already tabular. This would prevent ing blurred, forged or unrelated documents. Once the data has been extracted for each parties including accreditation data it can then be electronically collated at each level. It would be the duty of the collation officer to confirm that the manual and electronic collation data match. Also Fraud detection Algorithm can be run to detect over voting etc. After the election this document would be visible to everyone on portal and can be emailed to political parties and the court.

continue making the requests

The digitisation is critical.

They know all these but are shying away just to continue being in power

I don't see our legislooters ing this. These people know the right thing to do but they will not do it since that right thing will not allow them to do their magomago.

We have submitted our request but waiting for some foolish youths that they want themselves and their generations to suffer forever that will still go against it

SUCH A SHAME.!!

It takes only one lawmaker to push a I’ll and make it public.

What are all the others who haven’t defected doing?

How many reasonable bills had lawmakers from Lp for instance put forward.

My point, they are all the same, wether in the ruling party or in opposition

How APC go take win election if we implement all these reforms?

My own suggestion: you can vote for presidential election any where you are provided you are with your PVC.

BROS YOU MISS OUT THE MAIN THINGOO!!

FOI - THE INEC PROGRAM CODES HAS TO BE RELEASED TO SELECT ICT COMPANIES (NOT LESS THAN 20 ICT FIRMS BOTH LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL) FOR DETAILED FORENSIC ANALYSIS!

The programme need to be fully scrutinized. Every line of code must be analyzed for what it does and ascertain that it does that exactly.

TEMPERING WITH THE PROGRAMES WITHOUT FULL AUTHORIZATION FROM THE PRESIDENCY, NATIONAL ASSEMBLY AND AN ETHICS COMMITTEE COMPRISING OF EXPERIENCED PROGRAMMERS CHOSEN FROM EVERY REGION OF THE NATION, IMAMS CHOSEN FROM 10 NATIONAL MOSQUES AND 10 PRIESTS FROM THE CATHOLIC, ANGLICAN, PENTECOSTAL AND ALSO 10 NATIVE DOCTORS OF REPUTE - ANY TAMPERING OF THESE PROGRAMMES WITHOUT DUE APPROVAL FROM THESE GROUP OF PERSONS WILL BE TERMED TREASON AND PUNISHABLE BY DEATH!

The public need to know who is hosting the INEC server. How many people has the server access authorization and what level of authentication is granted to the concerned persons!

JAMB has already shown us what they plan to do with INEC programmes come 2027 - they have even told us one can vote without voters card!

THIS IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT!


I even want to create a detailed topic on this but na time wey i never get.

In addition, I don't think INEC should testify in courts about an election. They will always defend themselves no matter how shoddy the election is. Instead, they should just supply whatever the parties in the elections ask at the courts. I think the lawyers call them exhibits.

Look at JAMB for example, they vowed about the integrity of these last exams but an external audit revealed otherwise.

INEC should not be ed in post election matters in my opinion. Just supply the materials needed at the courts and let the parties argue about them.

Everybody should read the Electoral Act 2022. All these points are there...

Impunity and disregard for laws is the bane of democracy in Nigeria.

@bluntcrazeman great suggestions.

One observation from the last election is that on many occasions, the quality of INEC result photos ed to iRev was poor, suggesting that INEC PU officials were using their own low quality mobile phone cameras, or it was deliberate.

Perhaps if INEC provided digital cameras or auto screenshot functionality is installed on the machines to automatically snap and send photos to iRev without intervention
