The Senate On Tuesday Adopted Both Electronic And Manual Modes Of Transmitting Election Results, Following Weeks Of Public Outrage And Protests Over Attempts To Restrict Electronic Transmission In The Ongoing Amendment Of The Electoral Act.

The Decision Was Taken During Plenary After Lawmakers Considered Recommendations Aimed At Addressing Concerns Raised By Nigerians.

The Move Comes After Sustained Protests At The National Assembly, With Demonstrators Insisting That Electronic Transmission Of Results Is Critical To Curbing Electoral Fraud And Restoring Public Confidence In The Electoral Process.
