Imagine sitting in the comfort of your home and with just your mobile phone or laptop as well as internet access, you can cast your vote during elections
for any candidate of your choice. Imagine less crowded polling units on Election Day due to the alternative of electronic voting. Imagine being able to exercise your franchise in any part of the world during elections. This indeed will be novel, cut down tremendously on the habitual voting day violence as well as what we should be aiming for in future elections.
In Nigeria, we are still grappling with the rudimentary systems of voting and our electioneering processes has most often been marred by ballot-box snatching, thuggery, intimidation and all manner of election-related violence. According to Winston Churchill, “to improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.
Ballot-box snatching in our election process has been a perennial headache that has comprised the outcome of several elections. Unscrupulous politicians have always used this means at collation centers, to subvert the will of the people, time and again. They have used it to cheat their way to power on many occasions that has immensely contributed to bad governance.
