ELECTORAL REFORM: TRANSMIT OUR RESULT ELECTRONICALLY AND IN REAL TIME, THE ONLY WAY TO DECLARE A TRUE WINNER

ELECTORAL REFORM: TRANSMIT OUR RESULT ELECTRONICALLY AND IN REAL TIME, THE ONLY WAY TO DECLARE A TRUE WINNER 

“From Votes to Voice: Why We Must Demand Digital Transmission Now”

---

Opening Statement:

> “Nigeria doesn’t have an election problem. Nigeria has a transparency problem.”

We vote, we wait—and then, the silence.

Rumors rise, figures are flipped, and the will of the people is rewritten by shadows.

This must end.

Narrative:

Imagine spending hours under the sun to cast your vote. You risked violence. You stood firm. You believed.

But when it came time to count your voice, someone in a remote office changed the numbers with a pen.

No cameras. No trace. No justice.

That’s not democracy. That’s daylight fraud.

What’s the Solution? One word: DIGITAL.

Digital transmission of results—from polling units directly to a central server in real-time—isn’t just technology.

It is protection.

It is proof.

It is power for the people.

Why It Matters:

1. Ends Rigging at Collation Centers:

Most rigging happens after voting, during manual collation. With digital upload from the source, the cheating ends where the voting ends.

2. Restores Trust in INEC & Democracy:

If results are viewable in real-time by citizens, parties, and observers—transparency returns. The people stop feeling robbed.

3. Protects Your Vote Like a Bank Protects Money:

Just as banks use digital trails to secure your funds, digital transmission creates a trail of accountability for every single vote.

4. Saves Time, Resources, and Lives:

No more 3-day election suspense. No more ballot snatching. Real-time tech minimizes conflict.

Message to Politicians Opposing Reform:

> If you are scared of digital transmission, you are not planning to win—you are planning to cheat.

---

Call to Youth & Civil Society:

> This is the time to shift the conversation from candidates to systems.

We need not just new leaders, but a new process to count them in.

We demand:

Full implementation of BVAS (Bimodal Voter Accreditation System).

Mandatory real-time transmission of results from all polling units.

Open access to view uploaded results by media and citizens.

Legal penalties for tampering with digital data.
