President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has just signed the amended Electoral Act 2026 into law. But there’s a catch that has everyone talking! π
What’s changing for 2027?
✅ BVAS is Law: No more manual card readers. BVAS is now the only legal way to vote.
✅ Earlier Funding: INEC gets their money 1 year before the election (No more "no budget" excuses!).
✅ Stiffer Jail Time: PVC buying/selling now carries a ₦5 million fine and 2 years in prison.
The Controversy: π§
The President defended keeping MANUAL result collation alongside the electronic IReV portal. He says "computers can't do everything" and we must guard against hacking.
Opponents are already asking: Is this a step forward or a way to stay in the past?
π£️ LET’S ARGUE:
Do you trust manual results for 2027, or should we go 100% digital like other countries? π³π¬
