The Independent National Electoral Commission , has urged the National Assembly to add more powers on its role of deploying technology in the nation’s electoral process by approving its recommendations on electoral process.
Okoye said: “we need the National Assembly to give us added muscle, added power to deploy technology in the electoral process.“Because as at today, the laws as they are programmed are manual and that is why we must collate results manually at a polling unit, collect manually at a collation centre and also collate manually at the local governments and so on.
“Secondly, we are also looking at the constitutional framework. As of today, the pre-election matters dovetail into the election period, creating a huge challenge. “One of the challenges we have is that political parties will give you notice of the party nomination processes.
