Modernizing the Citizen’s Voter Registration process.
Voter registration should be easy, accessible and secure so that every citizen can exercise
their fundamental right to vote. Our voter registration laws need a twenty-first century
upgrade We propose;
- Setting up of digitalized processing centers; for citizen’s voter card registration, validation,
processing, card creation confirmation notification to registered citizenry and allocation to
localized Voter cards pick up centers across to the country.
- Implementing batch dispatch and collections Monitoring; to ensure collection of voter’s
cards, efficiency in provisions and distribution.
- Eliminate possible voters card disenfranchisement and deliberate deviation of physical cards
to recipients that empowers vote rigging and illegal determination and manipulation.
- Digital files will be open for every voter with home details. Contact details.
- Card creation and Printing logistics will be managed digitally, batch wise with automated
alerting systems sent to registrants at each stage of the card creation with information to card
collection centers.
- Necessary verification processes will be undertaken before card collection or disbursement:
Disbursement will be handled by disbursement centers scatters across the country to help
reduce pressure on electoral body.
- Stock accountability will be managed by the digital diaspora processing center: to ensure
each card is accounted for after card collection prompts are sent to recipients.
- Collaborate with processing technological partners to build SAAS or PAAS voting card
processing platforms: This will be made bespoke to our peculiarities and systems
specifications for voter card registration processing and collections in highly secured
processing systems from start to finish with cards as at voters’ hands.
- A proposal to look at digitalizing actual vote will be looked at, at future periods: A start with
controlling voter apathy and card collection manipulation by political interests’ groups will be
tackled.
Note: Remember that successful implementation requires collaboration among government
agencies, civil society organizations, and the diaspora community itself. Regular assessment and
adaptation of the policy will be essential to ensure its relevance and impact over time.
