An electronic or semi-electronic voting machine or a voting machine, as recommended by the National Electoral commission in order to reduce costs (a gain of 400 million US dollars) and considerably reduce fraud with the publication of provisional results on the same day a few hours after closure of the polling stations, the MLC does not want them.

For the Movement for the Liberation of Congo, the possibility of electronic or semi-electronic voting is prohibited by the electoral law.

"The MLC is surprised that this method of voting is the subject of a communication from the Person in charge of the Commission who knows with pertinence that article 237  of the electoral law in force forbids it," says the press release of the Bembist party dated Wednesday, September 6, 2017.

In this document, the Executive Secretary of the MLC concludes "that any election under the current law can not be conducted electronically."

Eve Bazaïba and his party are urging voters and the international community to be vigilant.

As a reminder, the president of the Independent National Electoral Commission praised the voting machine before the press on Tuesday 5 September.

Corneille Nangaa Yobeluo insisted on the fact that the voting machine, which he promotes in view of forthcoming elections, is not to be confused with electronic voting.

"We do not have electronic voting," he said. This method of voting, he says, is reliable and fast.

For the President of the CENI, the New Year's Eve agreement allows it to rationalize the costs of the electoral process estimated at 1,300 billion $.

In any case, Nangaa will have to struggle hard to convince the political class to adopt this new method of voting which intrigues more than it reassures because of the national and international contexts fostered by several suspicions with in particular the Kenyan electronic voting.

Nangaa told reporters that his voting machine, "Nangaa machine" or "Malu Malu machine" because the idea comes from the latter, has nothing to do with the Kenyan vote.
