**Election Results Transmission: Why Nigeria's Electoral Process Still Needs a Major Overhaul** Nigeria's electoral process has always been a subject of controversy, with the recent Senate's decision on dual electronic-manual transmission of election results sparking heated debates. While the Senate-approved electronic transmission of results is seen as a step in the right direction, many, including the Nigeria Political Scientists Association (NPSA), believe that the country's electoral process is far from perfect. According to the NPSA, the Senate's decision to allow both manual and electronic modes of results transmission to coexist is a compromised position that may not necessarily lead to electoral integrity in Nigeria. The association argues that the country's politicians are desperate and may exploit the manual mode to manipulate election results, especially when technology fails. This is a valid concern, considering the numerous challenges that have plagued Nigeria's elections in the past. From the uneven distribution of election materials to the intimidation of voters, the alteration of results, and the open monetary inducement of voters, these electoral 'evils' can render meaningless the decision on electronic transmission of results. The NPSA is not alone in its skepticism. Many Nigerians are still waiting for a more comprehensive overhaul of the electoral process. While the transmission of election results is an important step, it is only one aspect of the electoral process. The country needs to address the root causes of electoral malpractices, including the shenanigans that accompany party primaries and the lack of commitment to electoral integrity. In conclusion, while the Senate's decision on electronic transmission of election results is a commendable step, it is only a small part of the solution to Nigeria's electoral challenges. The country needs a more holistic approach to electoral reform, one that addresses the systemic issues that have plagued its elections for decades. It is only then that Nigerians can truly say that their electoral process is transparent, free, and fair.
