Voter registration helps to facilitate the credibility of the electoral process by preventing multiple voting as each
person is only allowed to register once. One out of many causes of disenfranchisement of register voter is the failure to transfer their Voter Registration from one place to another when the case arises. That scenario has led to multiple registrations which is a criminal offense in Nigeria context. This research work is to address the difficulty involved in Voter Card Transfer. We design embedded application software proposed to be integrated into the INEC existing website. A flowchart was designed using the procedure for Voter Register Transfer in the INEC website. The prototype of the application was coded with C++. It was tested to meet the demands and objective of the study.
Towards a trusted e election in kuwait requirements and principlesIJMIT JOURNAL
Kuwait is a democratic country that has used paper ballots for its parliament elections for many years.
Although many people are content with the paper ballot, a survey shows that it has drawbacks, which have
made some people lose confidence in the system and would prefer a replacement electronic system.
However, the survey also shows that voters are cautious about electronic voting and are not ready for a full
internet-enabled system. The aim of this paper is to propose a step-by-step approach for introducing
electronic voting system and to define a set of requirements that an e-voting system, which is planned to be
used instead of paper-based voting system in Kuwait, should satisfy.

Despite huge sums of money being spent by the federal government of Nigeria in adopting various techniques for a free and fair election in the country, numerous problems are still militating against it. These problems include:- wide rigging of elections, multiple registrations and voting, late arrival of ballot boxes, stealing of ballot boxes, under-aged voting, illegal voting by non-Nigerian nationals, rioting and fighting at election venues due to insufficient number of security personnel, disenfranchisement of those in Diaspora as well as the physically handicapped by virtue of election distances to them, prolonged delay in accreditation of voters for election, cancellation of votes due to improper voting, prolonged counting of votes and delay in determining the result of an election, etc. This work showed how e-voting through the use of mobile phones and PCs would totally eradicate all these problems as people would no longer go to election venues to cast their votes, rather they would be at the comfort of their homes and offices to exercise their franchise using any of these electronic devices effortlessly. E-voting requires a web application program – at the back end – that would be written by computer experts and deployed on a web server so that clients – that is, PCs and mobile phones of voters – can be used to query it on constant basis during elections.
Touch screen voting machines will be useful for conducting free and fair polls on single day and in single phase for general elections. If touch screen voting machines are used then there will be absolutely no scope for rigging, impersonate voting and all other malpractices in voting process.

ALL SYSTEM GO FOR 22 609 VOTING STATIONS TO OPEN ON 10 AND 11 MARCH 2018 FOR THE GENERAL
REGISTRATION AND ADDRESS ‘HARVESTING’ WEEKEND
Centurion – The Electoral Commission says it’s ‘all systems go’ for over 22 000 voting stations
throughout South Africa’s to open their doors at 8am on Saturday 10 March and Sunday 11 March 2018.
This is expected to make it easy and convenient for eligible voters who either wish to check and confirm
their addresses on the voters’ roll, or to register as voters. This general registration weekend goes to the
heart of the preparations for the 2019 national and provincial elections.
All 22 609 voting stations around the country will open between 8am and 5pm over the weekend to:
• Allow registered voters whose address details are not on the voters’ roll to provide this
information;
• Assist new voters to register; and
• Allow already registered voters who have moved since they registered to re-register in their
correct voting district.
Voting stations will be staffed by over 73 000 election officials, 42% of who are young people (under 35),
64% of who are unemployed, and 73% of who are women.
Find your correct voting station and bring your ID
Voters must visit the voting station in their voting district. It is important to visit the correct voting
station. To find your correct voting station, please call the Electoral Commission’s contact centre on
0800 11 8000, or visit http://maps.elections.org.za/vsfinder/ and locate your correct voting station using
the Electoral Commission’s Voting Station Finder App. Registered voters can also SMS their ID number to
32810 to receive an SMS containing the address of their current voting station (charged at R1).
Voters are reminded to take their green barcoded identification (ID) book, or smart ID card or valid
temporary ID certificate. They will be assisted to complete a registration form providing their home
address at which they ordinarily reside which will allow the Electoral Commission to place them in the
correct voting district. Proof of residence is NOT required.
Addressing the voters’ roll
This registration weekend is evidence of the Electoral Commission’s early start to its preparations for the
2019 elections. These elections are expected to take place between May and August 2019.
Critically, this registration weekend is a milestone towards the culmination of a two-year project to
obtain addresses for all registered voters by June 2018. It is also an opportunity to ensure that voters
are registered in the correct voting district segments.
2. South Africans might recall the ruling of the Constitutional Court in 2016 which gave the Electoral
Commission until June 2018 to update the voters’ roll with all available addresses. Over the past two
years the Electoral Commission has made significant progress in updating addresses on the voters’ roll
including:
• Increasing the proportion of complete addresses from 34% of registered voters in March 2016
to 75% of registered voters currently;
• Reducing the proportion of incomplete or generic addresses from 34% in March 2016 to 14%;
and
• Reducing the percentage of registered voters without any recorded address from 32% to
approximately 11%.
The following are the current voters’ roll statistics:
Voter’s roll category Number of registered voters*
Complete address 19 418 210 (75%)
REC AS address 115 142 (0.4%)
Incomplete/generic address 3 551 266 (14%)
No recorded address 2 815 160 (11%)
Total registered voters 25 899 778
*As at 30 November 2017
Despite its best efforts to collect the addresses of voters, the Electoral Commission does not have
addresses for 2.8 million voters. A further 3.5 million addresses are currently classified as “incomplete”
or “generic”.
“The voters’ roll is a fundamental safeguard for free and fair elections. It is an instrument for facilitating
electoral participation, which is placed at the disposal of political parties for campaign purposes. It
serves a functional purpose as a planning tool for accurate provision of electoral material and the
avoidance of electoral fraud,” says Chief Electoral Officer, Sy Mamabolo.
He once again urged all voters to make every effort to visit their voting stations during the weekend of
the 10 and 11 March 2018. “We are ready to open all the voting stations this weekend for all voters to
easily update their address details on the voters’ roll, and for first-time voters to register. We need
voters to show up and make use of the opportunity,” says Mamabolo.
Extended hours for Electoral Commission’s contact centre and Home Affairs offices
3. Given the high caller demand to date, the Electoral Commission’s contact centre – which can be reached
by dialling 0800 11 8000 - will be open from 8am to 8pm from today, Wednesday 7 March 2018, until
Friday, 9 March 2018, and on the weekend from 8am to 5pm both days to assist voters to find their
correct voting station and to answer any queries.
The Department of Home Affairs has, as always, offered the Electoral Commission its full cooperation in
registration initiatives. It has indicated that it will open its offices from 8am to 5pm on 10 and 11 March
2018 to facilitate the:
• Collection of green, barcoded ID books and smart ID cards; and
• Immediate issuance of temporary ID certificates.
Voters can enquire about the status of their ID and smart ID cards without physically visiting Home
Affairs offices by simply SMSing the word “ID” followed by your ID number to 32551. Each SMS sent
costs R1. They can also call the Home Affairs contact centre number on 0800 60 11 90.
Finally, we would like to remind voters that the Electoral Commission’s online facility available at
https://www.elections.org.za/MyIEC/ remains active for registered voters with access to the internet to
check and update or provide their address online, should they be unable to visit their correct voting
station this weekend. These voters are also urged to update their details before the end of May 2018
