A solar-powered electronic voting machine has been developed by the Electronic Development Institute, ELDI in Anambra state for Nigeria's 2019 general elections.
The device is an improvement on INEC's current widgets, Vice Chairman of National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure, NASENI, Prof. Mohammed Haruna, said.
He revealed this when he was presenting the device to the Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, in Abuja, on Monday.
According to him, the innovation was inspired by Onu's request on the agency to develop a tamper-proof electronic machine for the general elections.
The device will eliminate ballot snatching, multiple thumb printing, failure of card reader and alteration of data between polling units and collation centres, he said. He added that it also makes provision for real time election result as voting progresses, and that it's home grown.
It incorporates facial recognition, radio frequency identification device options of voter’s identification in addition to thump print and card reader. With this device, elections will be conducted in a day, he said.
