Senator Orji Uzor Kalu is pushing for a more modern voting system. Representing Abia North, the lawmaker stated that using technology to transmit results is the best way to move Nigeria forward, provided there is a solid backup plan for rural areas.
What You Need to Know:
How it Works: Once voting ends and the result sheet is signed, it will be sent electronically. Kalu says this will be the "primary method" wherever the technology is working.
No Voter Left Behind: The Senator argued that the system is fair because it uses technology where possible but relies on paper records in areas with poor electricity or no signal.
Clearing Up the Past: He explained that his old concerns from 2020 were about the lack of computers and power at the time. Now that things have improved, he says he has never opposed digital results in the current 10th Senate.
