EVMs Not Yet A Priority

The commission is at pains to get Batswana’s buy-in on the use of EVMs, which they claim will be an upgrade from the traditional manual voting and counting systems. 

Well, as the saying goes ‘the only constant is change’, and we do understand that we live in an ever developing world, which Botswana of course cannot be exempted from. We have embraced technology and the country is always trying by all means to be up to speed with technological advancements. While these efforts are commendable, why is it that our Government seems hell-bent on making sure that EVMs are adopted immediately?  Are they to be used during the upcoming 2019 elections?
