EVMs are a security risk for Botswana :: Mmegi Online

I just arrived from an Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) meeting at Mogoditshane main kgotla and as a result of the debates at the meeting, I decided to change my topic for the week and address the Electronic Voting Machines that formed the heart of the debate.

It was at this meeting that I stood up to advice Mr Gabriel Seeletso to consider resigning from the position he is holding because the exercise he is tasked with will finally erode his wonderful legacy in electioneering. Seeletso is tasked with marketing the Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) that have already been approved by Parliament.

The majority of Batswana are taking none of the said machines. In Mogoditshane, six out the 21 people who had a chance to voice their opinion liked the machine while the remaining 15 stamped a big NO on the use of EVMs.
