Meaning and Functions of Elections

Transcript

00:02 Good day, everyone.

00:12 My name is Jeremiah.

00:13 I'll be taking you on a subject,

00:15 government, on a topic called election.

00:18 Now, we're going to be looking at the objective.

00:22 At the end of this lesson,

00:24 students should be able to know the following.

00:27 Definition of election, functions of election,

00:30 types of election, electoral commission,

00:32 and futures of electoral commission.

00:36 These are what students are expected to know.

00:39 So we're going to go into the lesson properly.

00:42 Now, we all know what is a election,

00:43 and the literary meaning of a election

00:46 that we all know is the right for us to vote

00:49 for what we represent it is.

00:51 Now, if we all can remember franchise,

00:53 franchise have given us some clue about election.

00:57 And that's why, before you can know what is a election,

00:59 you have to know what is franchise and them.

01:02 You're so rich and you're about it.

01:04 Election are defined as the act of electing candidates

01:08 to represent the people of a given country in the parliament.

01:11 The executive, and possibly into other aims of government

01:15 are stipulated in the constitution of that country.

01:18 Now, election simply means we are electing people

01:22 to represent us at the end of our family,

01:24 because everybody cannot be a leader.

01:26 So we have to represent people.

01:28 We'll have to elect people that will represent us

01:31 at the end of our family, at the federal level,

01:33 at the state level, at the federal level.

01:36 Now, we're going to discuss and look at the functions

01:40 of election.

01:41 Number one, function of election is change of government.

01:45 Election make it easier for the people to remove

01:48 the bad leaders from government

01:50 and with a better choice made by the people.

01:53 Election give us the platform to remove the bad leaders

01:58 or those who have complete their tenure in office

02:01 for us to replace them with the better people.

02:04 We all know 2019 in Nigeria, here we experience election.

02:07 We're also going to experience another election in 2023,

02:11 which give us the platform to replace those,

02:14 their tenure, have aspire or those who are displeased

02:18 with their governance.

02:21 Number two, election of representative.

02:24 It give elected representative the legitimate rights to rule

02:28 because they are being voted in for.

02:31 That means they are given and legitimates rights to rule

02:36 because they are not here on their own.

02:37 We elected them because they are what our representative.

02:42 Number three, free choice of leader.

02:44 Election give us the avenue to choose the leader

02:49 of our own choice.

02:52 It shouldn't be something that should compare you to vote

02:55 for somebody.

02:56 You should be out of your free will to vote

02:58 for your rightful candidate.

03:02 It ensure control and accountability.

03:04 How does it ensure control and accountability

03:07 when they are not performing where you can question them?

03:09 You can call them to order.

03:10 And that's why it is called democracy

03:12 because we're not practicing monarchy or military system

03:16 or government whereby you cannot question those at the end of the fair.

03:20 To educate the electorate,

03:22 people are educated on their political rights.

03:24 We are the electorate, if you can remember.

03:26 And franchise have elaborated on who electorates are.

03:30 We are the electorate.

03:32 So on that day, it gave the electorate the right for you

03:35 to vote for the rightful candidate.

03:38 And it's educators, the electorate, the right thing to do,

03:43 legitimacy, election confer legitimacy on the elected government

03:47 in power, like our president, what elected by the citizen.

03:51 So it gave him the legitimacy's right for him to be in power,

03:55 for him to rule us because he's not their based on his own.

03:59 He was their based on what election.

04:01 Competition, election promotes competition among the political parties

04:06 and among the candidate.

04:07 We all know during the election, each party wants

04:10 to have shine this party.

04:11 So there's this competition between two different parties

04:15 or between two different candidates.

04:18 This candidate wants to prove that I'm the best.

04:21 The other candidate wants to prove I'm the best.

04:23 And it does why they say it gives room

04:25 for what's competition.

04:28 Now we're going to be looking at the merit of election.

04:31 What are the merit?

04:34 Number one, it makes for Attagonist Group.

04:37 Election can divide the country in Attagonist Group.

04:41 Mind you if election is not properly handled.

04:43 If you can, so mind back 2015, in this country,

04:46 we are skeptical that this country was going to divide,

04:48 you know, when Jonathan was in power,

04:50 they felt he was not going to handle the power.

04:52 But at the end of the day, it was properly handled.

04:56 And if election is not properly handled,

04:57 it can divide the nation, this unity.

05:01 Division for the country can takes place

05:04 if not properly handled.

05:06 During election, if not properly handled,

05:08 it can bring desunity in the country.

05:11 And that's why, before election,

05:14 the different arms of government

05:15 have to come together and see how, and see,

05:18 and this cause, how the election will be worth organic.

05:22 Because if they don't see that one, this cause,

05:24 there's everything they see that it would

05:26 bring about desunity in the nation.

05:30 Waste of fund, a lot of money

05:32 are spent during the election that

05:34 can be used for other purposes.

05:37 Especially in Africa, during the election,

05:39 money are being spent that can be used

05:41 for other purposes, and which is not good.

05:45 I want to believe in Western where they don't spend

05:48 that such amount of money just because of election.

05:52 It is especially mostly in African continent

05:55 that you will see that during the election,

05:57 that people spend, you know, a lot of money

05:59 to make sure they gain their power.

06:03 The election rigging, rigging can take place to enthrone people

06:07 of dubious intention into government.

06:10 You know, people can say rigging is

06:13 in two-foot positive and negative.

06:15 I want to say, rigging is not good.

06:19 Rigging is just to enthrone somebody

06:21 who is rightfully worthy, the winner.

06:24 Best material may not be involved in the administration.

06:29 They may withdraw from taking part in election

06:32 as a result of toll green intimidation, victimization.

06:36 A lot of our cities in because of toll green,

06:41 because of all these talks attacking them,

06:43 there's everything there's for them to withdraw

06:46 in participating in election.

06:48 Now, we're going to be looking at types of election.

06:51 What are the types of election?

06:53 We have two types of election,

06:54 direct and indirect.

06:56 Firstly, we're going to be treating direct election.

06:58 What is direct election?

07:00 Direct election involves the electorate,

07:04 which is the voters casting the vote directly

07:07 in an election for candidate of their choice

07:11 that will represent them at the end of the day.

07:13 You can see the picture here now.

07:14 This person is casting resource, how would vote,

07:19 directly to how would a rightful candidate.

07:24 You can see she's casting a vote directly

07:29 for her rightful vote.

07:30 Candidates, this is direct election.

07:33 Whereby, we are not being compelled to vote for vote anybody.

07:37 It is out of free will, out of vote, free without

07:40 to vote direct election.

07:41 You comment directly to cast your vote.

07:45 Now, we're going to discuss merit of direct election.

07:50 Number one, restoration of voters' right.

07:53 The right of the election are restored and voting

07:57 for the right candidate of their choice.

08:00 Restoration of voters' right.

08:02 It gives you the avenue to vote for the vote.

08:05 Your rightful vote candidates.

08:09 Number two, it is democratic.

08:10 You can remember, under franchisees,

08:13 it is democratic.

08:13 Have been explained.

08:15 It is democratizing.

08:16 It is vote constitutional.

08:18 Inasmuch as you have made what they require,

08:21 what requirements you are giving the privilege

08:23 to exercise your franchise.

08:26 Equality of vote.

08:27 One month, one vote.

08:30 A vote apply here.

08:32 Nobody's allowed to vote more than one time.

08:35 Twice, three, no.

08:37 One month, one vote.

08:40 Direct election reflects what public choice of the people

08:44 because you came out to vote for your rightful candidate.

08:46 Even though when you vote, even if the president is performing

08:48 well or not, yes, you can.

08:51 If you can remember under franchisees,

08:53 if you have gone through your franchise states

08:55 that you can hold them accountable

08:57 when they are not performing well.

09:01 It enhanced dedication and hard work.

09:04 Most of the candidates work very hard

09:06 to defeat their political opponent in the election.

09:10 You can see, especially among two different parties.

09:14 You can see this party working very hard

09:17 to assign this particular party.

09:20 So it gives a party.

09:22 The platform to work very hard to make sure

09:25 that they are what they are in the power.

09:27 It's great opportunity for people

09:29 to know their representative,

09:31 representative aspiring to represent their interest

09:35 in government.

09:36 So it's when you know who want to represent it as

09:38 when you can vote, cast your vote for the person.

09:41 It is simple to operate.

09:42 Direct election are simple and can easily be adopted

09:46 in many countries of the world.

09:48 Direct election is very simple to operate

09:50 because many countries, this is what they adopt.

09:54 They adopt the word indirect election.

09:57 Indirect election, not everybody,

09:58 are involved in direct election.

10:02 Now, the merits of direct election number one in the Tracy,

10:07 those who cannot read or write usually vote wrongly

10:10 or blindly because they cannot identify party symbols

10:14 and name, those people who usually fall victim

10:18 on that is those who can know what to read and write.

10:22 So because of the cannot read or write,

10:24 they cannot express themselves.

10:26 They find it very difficult to identify party symbols.

10:29 Every political party,

10:31 all over the world, have their symbols.

10:33 So for you to know the right party to vote for,

10:36 they can't let you have to know everything about the party.

10:39 They call out the party the symbol.

10:42 When you know these, you don't need anybody

10:44 to follow you to the poll you need to tell you,

10:46 this is the right place to press your hand.

10:48 Problem or rigging.

10:49 Direct election are generally characterized

10:52 by mad parties.

10:53 With these results, maybe change to favor another candidate.

10:59 Corrupt electoral officers.

11:02 Some electoral officers connive with politicians

11:05 to make sure they are when I've said that.

11:08 They break their way through.

11:09 And that's why you see after election,

11:12 you see some people saying this person did not win the election,

11:15 maybe he was favor because the eye-naked chairman,

11:19 or maybe he was related to the eye-naked chairman.

11:23 Poe turnout.

11:24 Poe turnout of voters is not usually

11:27 a true reflection of a number of those that's registered.

11:31 Now, number of people that registered, I think,

11:34 is not actually a reflection of people

11:36 who are coming out to vote.

11:37 I've explained that earlier before,

11:39 maybe out of, maybe they are scaled as a result of that.

11:42 They might find it very difficult to vote.

11:45 At the end of the result, you'll find that people who registered

11:48 and people who cast their vote, people that cast their vote

11:51 are usually more than people who come out to go to register.

11:56 And adequate security at polling station.

11:59 In most cases, some polling units lack security personnel

12:03 as a result of this.

12:05 People can't be intimidated or being harassed by some people.

12:09 People find it very difficult to come out to vote

12:11 because they believe they can be harassed.

12:15 Toghrin and intimidation, I've explained that before now,

12:18 as a result of Toghrin, people find it very difficult

12:20 to come out to exercise their franchise,

12:24 believe that some candidate usually

12:28 used Tog to harass electorates, as a result of these.

12:33 Some people find it very difficult to participate fully

12:38 in election.

12:40 Now, types of voting.

12:43 We're going to be looking at types of voting.

12:45 Direct election could be public voting or secret

12:48 by voting.

12:49 We have two types.

12:50 Now, that is the secret and the public.

12:52 And the one that is mostly practiced all over the world

12:57 is all secret voting.

13:00 Now, we're going to be looking fully into that.

13:04 Now, what is secret voting?

13:07 Voters cast their vote secretly.

13:09 The voters make the decision in the voting exercise.

13:13 In this election, ballot papers and scribing,

13:16 the names of the parties and symbols, ballot balls, envelope,

13:20 may or may not be used.

13:22 Also, in part, I use.

13:24 These are some of the materials needed for secret voting.

13:28 Secret voting is a situation whereby you are excluded

13:33 in the Kubik, whereby you go there and vote cast your vote.

13:38 Nobody know who you are voting for.

13:41 But there's some system whereby because they have paid you,

13:44 you see the party agent following you

13:46 to make sure that you vote for their own candidate

13:49 because they have paid for it.

13:52 And that's where my party's coming.

13:56 Even the security personnel will be there.

13:58 And all this will be going on.

14:00 But only on a neutral norm, secret voting, nobody should follow you.

14:05 It's between you and your vote, ballot balls

14:08 and your vote, ballot paper.

14:10 The electoral officers are the presiding officer.

14:14 Polling clerk and polling orderly are the electoral officers.

14:19 In charge of polling station, we also have security agent,

14:22 the police and party agent.

14:24 What are you trying to say?

14:25 In every polling unit, we have security personnel.

14:28 We have the INAQ officials.

14:32 The INAQ officials, the one that will attend to you,

14:35 show you where to go and cast your vote.

14:40 We're going to be looking at merits of secrets by voting.

14:46 Number one, it is democratic.

14:48 Secret voting preserves the right of voters.

14:52 It's what preserves the right of voters.

14:55 Nobody knows who you are voting for.

14:58 Except after voting, you can now decide to come out

15:01 and stop publicizing.

15:03 This is a particular candidate I voted on.

15:06 But only good news is it should be between you.

15:09 Well, I say, God, nobody should know who you are voting for

15:12 because it can induce vote violence.

15:15 It is universal.

15:16 What grammy my it is universal.

15:19 Most contrary, in the world, adopt this system

15:22 because it does not give room for vote violence.

15:27 Sense of direction, it gives the voters a sense of direction

15:32 and deciding who to vote for.

15:34 I've somehow explained this.

15:36 I'm the right election, give you a sense of direction

15:41 who to vote for.

15:43 We are not being compelled to vote for anybody.

15:46 It's out of your free will that you vote for your rightful

15:50 country.

15:51 And that's why you can hold them accountable

15:53 when they're not performing well.

15:57 Free from intimidation.

15:59 The voters is free from intimidation and harassment

16:03 from his landlord and employer.

16:05 What do I mean by that?

16:08 Landlord and employer.

16:09 Nobody can compare you.

16:11 Baby, you are working on that as somebody

16:13 because the person is your boss and the person is telling you,

16:15 I didn't know that I'm a particular party.

16:18 You must vote for this party I belong.

16:20 Otherwise, I will vote.

16:22 I will suck you.

16:22 Otherwise, I will throw it out of the house.

16:24 No, it does not give room for that.

16:26 So it gives the privilege to vote really.

16:29 Even when you're employed or your landlord

16:31 tell you vote for this person, you just hear it.

16:34 But when you are going to nobody follow you there,

16:36 you know who you are to vote for.

16:39 Freedom of choice.

16:39 It gives you the right to vote for any candidate

16:44 of your choice.

16:46 It gives satisfaction.

16:47 It gives satisfaction to who?

16:49 To the electorate.

16:51 The merit of secret by-law thing.

16:53 Number one, it is difficult to comprehend.

16:56 And this system is difficult because of the tedious process

17:00 the voters has to go through before voting.

17:03 You know, in the direct election, there are a lot of prosidio.

17:06 First of all, you have to register.

17:09 If you don't have voters card, you

17:10 not be allowed to exercise your franchise.

17:12 Even the day of election, there's

17:14 what we call accreditation.

17:15 You have the first call and do what we call accreditation.

17:20 After the accreditation, you have to go.

17:22 Maybe after one hour, you think come back

17:24 and exercise your franchise.

17:26 Even exercising your franchise, you have to queue up.

17:28 So there's a lot of complication, the especially

17:32 when and the place is not covered.

17:34 If it is raining, there's everything dancing.

17:36 That's it.

17:37 If it is raining, you will be beaten by the rain.

17:39 So it is very tedious.

17:42 Eliteracy.

17:43 The literate ones can vote blindly

17:46 because they cannot read and write.

17:48 And that is the literate can vote blindly

17:50 because the retaliation is between you, your ballot,

17:53 both your ballot paper.

17:54 Nobody will tell you this.

17:55 The right place to press your hand.

17:57 So you are to know the right place to press your hand.

18:00 Whichever political party you have in mind.

18:02 But if you cannot read and write,

18:04 that's where the difficulty comes in.

18:05 Because you don't know the right party.

18:08 And this way, you see where the drawer umbrella

18:12 is where there's broom.

18:15 That's where you should vote.

18:16 Press your hand.

18:18 Costly to a plate.

18:19 The cost involved in the production

18:22 of the materials needed for the election may be so high.

18:26 On the direct election, the cost involved is so much.

18:30 You have to put ballot balls.

18:31 You have to employ INEC officials.

18:34 You have to-- you know, even the INEC officials at the time

18:37 might not be enough to solve for the purpose of election.

18:39 At times, the makers of Corpus, you have to pay them.

18:42 The makers of students, as a result of this,

18:44 pay huge amount of money to make sure

18:47 that election is properly conducted in that country.

18:51 Public voting.

18:53 Very interesting.

18:55 Now, which of the countries is operating this system?

18:58 I want to tell you, I don't think

18:59 there's any country at the party's system

19:01 because public voting, one, it is economically vote.

19:07 It can induce vote violence.

19:09 Now, let's look at the definition of the explanation properly.

19:14 This type of voting is done openly or publicly.

19:18 The voters will have to line up according

19:21 to their political parties.

19:24 And the counting of the voters is done

19:26 by the presiding officer before everybody present.

19:30 The result is declared at this point.

19:33 Now, let's look at this picture now.

19:36 This public voting, whereby everybody--

19:40 everybody will line up according to their political party.

19:45 The reason why I said it would induce vote--

19:47 let's say party A, party B, party C.

19:52 And all of a sudden, party A is leading.

19:55 There's every tendency, those who are representing party B

19:58 and C can cause violence.

20:01 And that's why some countries do not practice this.

20:04 Though very, very easy to operate, less expensive,

20:07 we're going to move forward to know why it is less expensive.

20:14 Now, we're going to be looking at the merits.

20:16 Number one, simple to operate.

20:17 The voting exercise is very simple to operate.

20:21 Very simple to operate.

20:23 Highly simple to operate.

20:24 Just line up according to your political party,

20:26 the just count.

20:27 After counting, everybody goes.

20:28 It's not a situation whereby you're given a by-lots paper

20:32 or you've been arrested at this rate.

20:34 The country at this point, the election

20:36 is organized within a very short period of time.

20:41 Less costly.

20:43 It is less costly to operate.

20:44 It does not involve anyone.

20:46 You don't need to operate any by-lots paper.

20:49 You don't need too much machinery on the public voting.

20:54 Public responsibility.

20:56 It is a public responsibility whereby everybody

20:58 comments publicly to cast their vote

21:02 for their rightful votes candidate.

21:05 Sovereign is a trust.

21:07 After all, the vote is sovereign.

21:08 Sovereign simply means the right

21:09 given to every adult to vote and be voted for.

21:13 Sovereign is a trust.

21:14 Every eligible adult is entitled to vote during this election.

21:20 So in as much as you have with requirements,

21:23 it's years and above you are giving the vote,

21:25 the privilege to vote and be voted for.

21:28 Soficient and light's main.

21:30 If a community is adequately enlightened

21:33 and members are courageous in order to withstand

21:37 improper pressure, public voting should be the best.

21:40 What do they mean?

21:41 In public voting, if everybody can be here well,

21:45 can be here with public voting time to be the best.

21:49 Well, even as that, because public voting

21:53 involved a lot of people, that's why some countries

21:55 didn't know to go into it because there's

21:57 no how as an outsider, an example, when party A is leading,

22:02 party B, C is every tendency.

22:04 Party B and C can cause chaos within the election.

22:09 That's why some countries do not practice it.

22:11 So most countries prefer to adopt what

22:14 generates a secret by-law to instead of a public vote.

22:20 It reduces electoral mapratis because the materials

22:23 that can enhance electoral mapratis

22:26 are not in place EG, like ballot balls,

22:30 ballot papers, ATC.

22:32 Now, it reduces electoral mapratis.

22:35 In secret by-law, there are some things

22:37 that induce vote electoral mapratis.

22:40 Like whereby some people, they will go secretly

22:42 and start printing on the ballot paper.

22:45 But in public voting, everybody, like not according

22:48 to what the political party you want to cast your vote for.

22:52 And election has been declared that very day.

22:54 Nothing like waiting for next two days.

22:57 No, you know that your party is really, so--

23:01 and this is one of the reason why the said is very,

23:05 very, very simple to operate.

23:08 Immediate release of results have said that result is released

23:13 instantly.

23:14 There's not like waiting for next three days or there

23:20 about.

23:21 We're going to be looking at the merit of public voting.

23:24 Number one, cohesion of the voters.

23:26 The voters may be compelled to vote for a particular candidate.

23:33 If you're lining up, there's everything they see.

23:36 If you're staying on the queue, there's

23:37 everything that somebody will come and meet you.

23:39 Trying to intimidate you.

23:41 You have intention to vote for party A.

23:44 Somebody comes trying to intimidate you.

23:46 You must vote for party B. So as a result of this,

23:49 some people are in flames to vote for the wrong candidate.

23:54 And that's why public voting have a lot of disadvantages.

23:57 That way some countries do not practice what public voting.

24:03 Precious from government.

24:04 Government can assert pressure upon the electorate to vote

24:08 for government officials.

24:10 Yes, we all knew that.

24:11 Usually when this person is a boy to be a particular leader,

24:17 you see them trying to compare people, vote for this person.

24:21 I don't want to mention them.

24:22 Vote for this person.

24:23 Vote for this person.

24:24 So maybe vote out of R. They say we should vote for this person.

24:28 He's not coming from their mind.

24:31 Landlord and employer, they can equal a pressure on those who

24:36 are more or less subject to their control.

24:39 I'll explain this if you can remember.

24:40 Landlord and employer, legacy you employ to somebody.

24:43 The person you employ can compare you to vote for his or her vote candidate.

24:51 Voters are exposed to intimidation.

24:52 However, I'll explain the voters are exposed to what intimidation and harassment.

24:58 It is cruel, why is it cruel?

25:01 Because there's a lot of risk that are what involve innate.

25:06 It can induce violence as every tendency during public voting.

25:10 The intimidation of fighting here above is plain ordered manipulation of results.

25:17 The electoral officials can manipulate the results to the favor of their own candidate.

25:22 Everything they see, the electorate, the ethnic officials, or the people called meeting the

25:28 election, my favor, one candidate.

25:31 It's a rule of the other candidate.

25:33 Electoral college.

25:34 I won't joke briefly.

25:35 It's a electoral college.

25:36 Not everybody are involved in this electoral college.

25:39 Only some set of people are involved in electoral college to vote for some people on behalf

25:45 of the citizen.

25:46 As a result of this, the citizens are what denied the right to exercise their franchise.

25:53 Merits of electoral college.

25:55 Electoral, one of the short periods of voting.

25:58 There's a very short period of voting, easy and proper identification of candidates.

26:05 Clay Court winner, the winner is declared at a spot.

26:10 Let's call it very economical.

26:14 The merit of electoral college.

26:16 People rights of choice are denied because not everybody are involved in this kind of election.

26:21 Wrong candidates.

26:22 Everything they see wrong candidates are likely to be used on that system, bribing and corruption.

26:27 The legislative, the not possesses, and available qualities.

26:30 Some of these people who are representing the citizen might not have the quality to know

26:34 the right candidate that the citizen wants.

26:37 By election, what is by election?

26:39 This is an election that takes place.

26:41 What is occupying a particular position is that there's everything they see for them to

26:46 conduct another election for somebody to occupy that position.

26:50 One of election, one of election is issued whereby there's no court winner.

26:54 So those that have the highest votes will be what will be selected among the top five.

27:00 Maybe they will just electry so that they can know the final winner.

27:05 Primary election is done between within the party.

27:09 Somebody that won the primary election will be the one to represent the party generally.

27:16 Referendum and this, from side, they are almost the same thing in a situation whereby some

27:21 people are not pleased with what is happening in the country that they can call for referendum

27:25 to know their mind so that it can be set to and make it a referendum.

27:31 The process of recall.

27:33 The process of recall, ladies, for instance, somebody was just stopped from his office and

27:38 there's everything they see for them to call him back.

27:41 If there's a strong evidence that my call came back before the tenor aspire to come

27:46 and complete his tenor.

27:48 Free and fair election.

27:49 Free and fair election is election done out of bias mind.

27:53 Condition necessary for the conduct and a free and fair election.

27:57 Number one, preparation of voters registered.

28:00 All cities in must be qualified.

28:02 You make sure that you have registered number two, secret by lotting.

28:07 This should be done secretly.

28:12 Intimidational voters.

28:13 No voter should be what intimidated.

28:16 In partiality, the electorate or the end-acquisition, not the pascha, it should be done out of vote by

28:21 us mind.

28:22 Condition of vote must be done on the streets of provision to avoid rigging.

28:26 Condition of vote should be done in the properly to avoid any kind of rigging or to favor one

28:30 party or the other.

28:32 Opportunity to campaign.

28:34 Candidate must be given enough time to campaign.

28:38 Voting by promze.

28:39 What is voting by promze?

28:40 You don't vote on behalf of your model or on behalf of your father.

28:44 You understand?

28:45 That's voting.

28:46 You vote for yourself.

28:47 Voting by promze is not allowed.

28:50 Electoral Commission.

28:51 These are people in charge in conducting election in every country they have a body.

28:57 Like Nigeria will have in the entire vote conducting election as far as this country is

29:02 consigned.

29:53 The I-NEG alone might not be allowed to coordinate the activities of election, they might need some

29:59 body like the corpus or the students.

30:01 So these people need to be trained before the election.
