@Koolibah

Somebody suggested we stagger the elections say governor mca and mp year 1, senate president year2 and he was called crazy. Wacha uone this time ballot ya mca na governor ikotoshana na dead sea scroll and we shall see the logic

We need a referendum…

The next component is the electronic transmission of votes…Hii there are many technologies thAt can be used sio lazima 3G eg satellite, WiMAX , Sigal boosters etc etc pia you don’t need electricity just as long as the gadgets are charged…why is this important…results. Will be transmitted to the central database in real time as son as counting is complete without having to resort to brining the forms manually to the regional center…this delays allow padding of figures

So it makes no sense to invest so much money in those 2 technologies and then resort to manual identification and transmission by anticipating failure…then we’d rather invest in a less expensive system anpakd get a second one as backup

Although electronic transmission disables the problem of padding votes at the tallying level it introduces the problem of accuracy at source. How sure are we that the preciding officer will send the accurate results to the server? Thats why manual forms signed by party agents still have to be submitted at the end of the day.
Elections za Ghana 2012, walisema voter identification itakuwa strictly electronic, waliona fire. Elections had to held for two days because of equipment breakdown. Come 2016 they changed back to electronic identification but in the event of EVID failure, manual rolls are used, and the 2016 elections were the smoothest.
