The Senate has said the approval of electronic transmission of results would enable the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, make use of electronic voting machines.
Spokesperson for the red chamber, Ajibola Basiru, stated this while speaking on the latest action of the Senate on the proposed legislation.
Basiru noted that the amended Section 43 of the Act sought to introduce electronic voting machines as one of the materials that an agent of a party would be entitled to inspect.
The Spokesperson added that the amendments done to Section 43 (3) would enable party agents to have access to voting devices from the office to the poling units.
