With the 2023 presidential election drawing closer, members of the House of representatives today tested the electronic voting device ahead of constitution amendment voting.
Speaker of the House, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamia stated that the lower chamber of the legislative Assembly would ensure the effectiveness of the machine before the day of voting.
The test was to avoid any confusion in the course of voting on highly contentious issues, as consideration of the Constitution was usually done clause by clause without the presiding officer having any influence on the voting.
