Very soon, the Commission will make a presentation to the Joint Committee of the Senate and House of Representatives on Electoral Matters as they continue to deliberate on electoral reform.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmong the major highlights of the Commission\u2019s recommendations is the imperative of legal clarity in result management with regard to manual transfer versus the electronic transmission of results.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Commission also believes that with the introduction of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), the use of the Permanent Voters\u2019 Cards (PVC) as the sole means of identification for voter accreditation on Election Day should be reviewed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose who already have the PVCs can still use them to vote, but going forward, computer-generated slips issued to the voter or even downloaded from the Commission\u2019s website will suffice for voter accreditation. This will not only save costs; it will also eliminate the issues around the collection of PVCs and the diabolical practice of buying up the cards from voters in order to disenfranchise them.<\/p>\n<p>The commission also recommended early voting for journalists and other essential election workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe review report also contains recommendations on early\/special voting for the millions of Nigerians who do not vote at the moment on account of the roles they play during elections, such as INEC officials, security personnel, ad hoc staff, observers, and journalists who are deployed outside the places where they registered to vote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are also recommendations in support of diaspora voting, the unbundling of the Commission with the establishment of an electoral offences tribunal, and a separate agency to handle the registration and regulation of political parties. Similarly, the Commission will step up action on voter access and distribution to polling units,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Yakubu also disclosed that the Commission urgently intends to develop protocols for the cleaning up of the voters\u2019 register in collaboration with other agencies such as the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) and the National Population Commission (NPC).<\/p>\n<p>Other areas of reform include advocacy for affirmative action for greater participation of under-represented groups and more robust voter education and public communication to combat fake news and misinformation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFurthermore, the Commission intends to review the mechanisms for a more effective implementation of agreements on logistics with the transport unions and other service providers by consolidating on the recent experience with early deployment and commencement of elections in the recent Ondo State Governorship election,\u201d Prof. Yakubu added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Identified 142 recommendations dealing with the general state of preparedness, voter management, voter education and public communication, political parties and candidate management, electoral operations, and logistics management The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is considering the use of computer-generated voting slips for those without Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) during elections.
