Thank you @Shadrack. And for power, we can go the tablet way. They are cheap and can run for 7+ hours on battery. The printed slips can be deposited directly in the equivalent of the ballot boxes and only be opened for verification and audit.

I think the idea of a fully automated voting system can work very well. Each stream would have a touch screen for each category. Presidential, governor e.t.c
After verification, one goes to the respective screen and select the candidate and confirms. The system gives a gap of at least 30 secs before the next voter.
All votes cast are store in a central machine and a printout generated after the close of polls at the same time transmitted to the tallying centre.
About power....all that is need is fully charged battey of an eight hrs min capacity. Allocate 2 for each station. Then have technicians on stand by in each cntituency with mobile generators/spare batteries in case of any problem. In any case, the IEBC can have like 15 helicopters on standby to address any issues arising in any polling station. Managing of logistics is the reason we have the elections body.
With 9b, this can be achieved if the procurement is made such that manufacturers are engaged directly to provide the equipments.
My two cents thought

Whatever infrastructure they have , I don't understand why sending such small data that can fit on SMS would have hitches. They are failing tech world in this country. Let them give us technical enough reason why the failure.
