Consequently, if the choice was up to INEC, the commission prefers to transmit election results electronically once the necessary legal framework is provided.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The commission also gave several reasons the electronic transmission of results is beneficial for Nigeria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It said the electronic transmission of results will increase trust in the electoral process, improve health safety by reducing person-to-person contact, reduce negative human intervention in the outcome of results, and help with record keeping.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cElectronic transmission of results will make results management more efficient, and increase public confidence in the electoral process,\u201d it added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cElectronic transmission of election results will also make for quicker and more transparent election adjudication.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The commission also said it does not require the approval of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to transmit election results electronically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"caps\">\u201cAny process that facilitates the denudation of the constitutional responsibilities of INEC to conduct elections or subjects those constitutional responsibilities to the approval of an agency of government will only undermine the electoral process,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWhile INEC needs the partnership of NCC to transmit election results electronically, it does not require its approval.
