The House of Representatives, on Wednesday, passed the Electoral Act 2022 Amendment Bill for Second Reading, brightening the prospect for electronic transmission of election results to minimise fraud in the nation’s electoral process.

The bill which is sponsored by Honourable Francis Waive, proposes that the general elections be conducted on the same day to save money and time for the country as well as prevent bandwagon effect.

The Bill is titled, “A Bill for an Act to amend the Electoral Act, 2022 and for Related Matters.

Debating the general principles of the Bill, Hon. Waive lamented the gaps in the current Electoral Act 2022, noting that an amendment of the law to pave the way for the electronic transmission of election results would help the nation’s democracy.

He also argued that, “A review of the voter register every 10 years will be a good starting point.”

The amendment also seeks to make electronic transmission of results compulsory and punish persons who file frivolous petitions with heavy fines to reduce the number of cases that would end up in court.

Further, the amendment will cause the electoral umpire to carry out a fresh registration exercise for eligible voters.

This report is developing, more details will be shared on the Intel Region WhatsApp group as soon as possible.
