e-voting in Nigeria can be a success (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780359826308)

"We can no longer continue to conduct elections manually in Nigeria; we must introduce modern technology as is being done in other countries," INEC chairman Prof Mahmmod Yakubu said in an interview. "Very soon the use of technology for the conduct of local elections in the country will be mandatory."We have enjoyed 20 years of uninterrupted democracy in Nigeria, since 1999 and credible elections is a challenge in Nigeria, often bewildered with irregularities and it has become a norm that results are challenged at election tribunals, most times winners are declared in the courts.'Nigeria has one of the lowest broadband penetration rates in the world. Many regions in the country cannot boast of a good network for phone calls, let alone access to the Internet.The issue of hacking is so problematic that some countries which adopted electronic voting in their electoral processes have since discontinued it.'
