So the question of whether it can change the way we vote in elections has an obvious affirmative answer – Yes. They seem to be haggling over using their postal service, otherwise known as ‘snail mail’ as opposed to using e-voting. There were two digital devices used in the last general elections - the biometric voter registration (BVR) and the electronic voter identification (e-VID) devices. The bigger problem with electronic electoral systems has never been the voter, it has always been the legislators. In their last amendment to the election laws following the nullification of the presidential election, the MPs hurriedly revoked anything electronic and declared that the IEBC can hold the general elections in full manual mode.
