2015 Polls made easier with the iWitness Application

In Nigeria, large segments of the voting population can be described as apathetic largely because of the perceived undermining of the electoral process in determining outcomes. Consequently, large segments of voters do not participate; and while some segments of the electorate that participate readily sell their votes or are disinterested in defending their votes.

It is our hypothesis at Bara Solutions & Sunesis that the Nigerian electorate would be less indifferent if they are involved in the vote counting and tallying process. We also believe that technology provides a medium that allows voters and the general public participate in the verification, counting and tallying of every vote in an election.

The iWitness© is a multiplatform application designed to allow voters participate in vote counting and tallying of votes during an election. This process allows for a verification of the generally agreed election outcome based on an accurate tally of the votes.

The application is available on the web (www.iwitnessng.com), and for download on iOS (iPhone and iPad) and android platforms. It can also be fed by SMS (short message service) from all mobile devices, thus covering a broad range of options to allow maximum participation.
