The full-scale test of electronic voting devices (DEV) used for combined ballots in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is currently underway. The Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) announced that this second test aims to deepen the examination of the functionalities of the DEV by simulating real voting conditions.
According to the CENI press release, this test will take place until December 5 in different branches of the DRC, including Kinshasa, Kasangulu, Madimba, Mbanza Ngungu, Matadi, Kenge and Kikwit. Territorial electoral trainer candidates, computer technicians from voting centers and heads of voting centers participate in this test.
The objective of this full-scale test is to evaluate the ease of use of the DEV by voters, as well as the autonomy of the internal and external batteries. It will also make it possible to verify the behavior of the device under conditions similar to those on election day.
The CENI also insisted on the importance of the safety of equipment, agents and participants during this test. The political-administrative authorities of the chosen sites were invited to ensure this security.
This full-scale test is a crucial step in the preparations for the combined elections in the DRC. It will ensure that electronic voting devices work properly and prevent possible problems on election day.
The DRC is thus taking another step towards transparent and democratic elections. The results of this full-scale test will be analyzed by the CENI in order to adjust, if necessary, the electronic voting devices to ensure the reliability of the electoral process.
It is encouraging to see the efforts made by the DRC to modernize its electoral system and ensure fair and equitable elections. Hopefully this full-scale test will confirm the effectiveness of electronic voting devices and strengthen voters’ confidence in the country’s democratic process.
