The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara, in a blog post, has introduced electronic voting system in the conduct of activities of the House.
Dogara had announced the adoption of the e-voting system last Thursday. He said the act was in compliance with the 8th Assembly’s Legislative Agenda.
The Speaker added that forms have been distributed to individual members to collate their data ahead of production of e-voting cards to all the 360 MPs.
The implication of the new system is that records of each member’s punctuality and voting patterns can easily be accessed by constituents and members of the public," the blog added.
“E-voting will be used regularly during voting to properly reflect voting records of Members and parliamentary accountability. The House shall collaborate with relevant stakeholders to achieve the goal of an e-parliament," the Legislative Agenda adopted by the 8th Assembly last year had stated.
The e-parliament initiative will operate on the platform of modern, up to date digital technology.
