The Bimodal Voter Accreditation System processed me so quickly that it was almost like magic. I had no reason to suspect my experience would not be the norm that day.“Thank God that I have voted,” she said. “What gives me even greater joy is that my vote has gone directly to the INEC server, unlike the last time.”She explained that the last time she voted in 2019, a manual register was used to accredit her. The process was so long and time-consuming, she said, it left her drained.
The anger, frustration and disappointment from the February 25 election appear rooted not only in the feeling that INEC had betrayed its promise, but also in the betrayal of the personal fantasies which that promise had spawned in many. Perhaps one of the biggest concerns is voter turnout, which reached a record low of 26.7 per cent on February 25.
