INEC STATES THAT THERE WONT BE ELECTRONIC VOTING IN THE 2019 ELECTIONS

Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Mahmood Yakubu, has commented  that the electronic voting system will not be used in the 2019 general elections.

Professor Yakubu said this on Friday while addressing participants at the International Press Institute world conference in Abuja.

“There is no electronic balloting in 2019. In other words, there will be no electronic voting in the next general election but technology is already being used in many aspects of the processes. Electronic voting should be the ultimate step in the chain involving five inter-related processes,” he said.
