ELECTION PROPOSAL FOR 2023. VERY PRACTICABLE
ELECTION PROPOSAL FOR 2023. VERY PRACTICABLE
1. Make a Polling Unit Machine (PUM) like ATM that can accept PVC and it’s not dependent on the Polling Units so you can vote from any Machine nearest to you. Not as big as ATM though.
2. Slot in your PVC; accredit yourself by scanning your thumb.
3. The PUM validates the PVC for single vote and then detect the PVC Polling Unit.
4. Machine displays the Election for that day or possibly all elections on the same day.
5. Machine displays the logo of all registered parties.
6. You tap the logo of the party you intend to vote for.
7. You get notified.
8. INEC is notified.
9. The selected party’s vote increases by 1 and the voter sees it on the machine.
10. A general display of total result as voters continue to vote.
11. Once INEC shutdown voting, the machine displays results.
NO NEED FOR:
i. Collation Officers
ii. Returning Officers
iii. Armed Personnel
iv. Election materials (sensitive and non-sensitive)
v. Loss of lives especially Corps Members and other citizens
vi. Ballot Boxes
vii. Burning of Ballot Boxes
Every PVC is registered to a Polling Unit so if a Polling Unit Machine is hijacked or burnt, other polling unit machines can be used and any PUM will just detect the PVC and assign the vote to the damaged machine.
Election overhead cost will reduce automatically by more than half and save us money to spend more on voter education.
This will not totally eliminate vote rigging, but it will drastically reduce the opportunities for sabotaging our elections by riggers.
