Fayemi advocates one day for all elections, e-voting
Speaking shortly after casting his vote at his country home, Isan Ekiti, the Governor said the current election schedule where elections into all elective positions are conducted separately “is not a good use of time and effort”.
The Governor however commended the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for quickly addressing some hiccups that could have paralysed the smooth conduct of the 2019 general elections; saying that he would be happy if the process run smoothly in all parts of the State just as the card reader worked perfectly in Isan Ekiti where he voted.
“I look forward to a time when all the elections can actually happen in one day. This is not a good use of our time the time we commit to this effort, the man working hour is just too much. So we hope technology will improve, we hope to get to the point of electronic voting and get to the point where everything can be smooth and fast and we can combine work with voting,” he said.
