Is INEC Prepared For The Task Ahead? by 3ple9iner: 10:49pm On Aug 02, 2022
After INEC released the data on the total amount of registered voters in Nigeria which increased from 84million to 96.2million that means INEC was able to register about 12.2m people.
After analysing this facts, I became worried and realized that INEC still has a huge task ahead. Yeah, registering people was a task INEC was successful in but would they be this successful in other tasks?

Registration ended on the 31 of July and INEC has said that the PVC would be available to those who newly registered and those who applied for a new PVC by October and November.
This means that INEC has about 2months to print more than 12.2million PVCs. Can INEC be able to perform this task efficiently without not giving excuses later?

" I am sacred because Nigeria has taught me simple things are always the hardest to fulfill".


If INEC should pass the task of giving all 12.2m newly registered voters their PVC, can INEC pass the other task of conducting the election?

In the 2019 election, Nigeria had 82 million registered voters but total vote cast was 28million which is about 34% of the total number of registered voters. Though, I don't have the stats on the number of people who actually went out to vote but I believe a number of people would have gone out to vote but would be discouraged after seeing the crowds and other factors.
With the addition of 12.2m voters and the zeal of people to want to have their say in who leads us for the next four years I believe the number would jump from 34% to about 60%. But can INEC cope?

During the 2019 elections, INEC officials allowed voters whose cards were not read by the card readers to vote by accrediting them manually then the officials are to then fill an incidence form. INEC has now abducted a new device the BVAS which is used to register, accredit, and transmit results electronically, also the new electoral law doesn't allow the issuance of incidence form meaning if the BVAS is unable to accredit you, you wouldn't be allowed to vote.
During my registration, I saw people who found it difficult capturing there face and now I begin to wonder, would there be enough machines and staffs to accredit people in cases like this.

For INEC to also be able to record a 60% increase in votes, INEC has to deploy enough BVAS and personal as more people would come out to vote against the 34% in the last election.

It would be a thing of luck if voting ends in a day.

Do you think INEC would be successful in the tasks ahead?
