Zakari said the commission had in the cause of carrying out the commission’s assignment, discovered some lacuna in the electoral act clauses which according to her needed some legal review.
She said INEC has reminded members of the National Assembly, on the need to urgently review those clauses to improve the electoral processes.
``We will continuously try to improve the electoral process through legal reviews. `Election laws are not static, they are dynamic. You have to keep on improving on them especially when something comes up, like the issue of diaspora voting, the issue of electronic voting. These are issues that require review and we will keep on recommending to the national assembly for these reviews,” Zakari said.
``We are all aware that we just concluded the last general elections which were internationally and widely acclaimed to be a huge success.`So it is not surprising that there is a lot of interest to finding out what led to the successes.
Most of the attachés are from African defence agencies and you know democracy in Africa is something that is just growing. So there are interests to understand how it is done, possibly to pick one or two things which they will take back to their countries.
The attaches came from different countries, including United States of America, France, Sudan Angola, United Kingdom and Niger among others.
