Towards Improving the Electioneering Process in Nigeria: Going Digital

Introduction

Another season of election is upon Nigerians and every election time comes with a whole lot of stress – mentally, psychologically, financially and so on. The major reason for this is not far-fetched, the stress that comes with voting in Nigeria has never been an easy one.

Nigeria, as the largest democracy in Africa, has been facing numerous challenges in the electoral process. The country has a history of election irregularities, mismanagement of voter registration and vote counting, and a lack of transparency. However, with the rapid development of technology, Nigeria has the potential to revolutionize its election process and enhance the transparency and efficiency of the voting process.

Nigeria is a country that has been working towards making its election process smoother and more transparent. With the advent of new technologies, there is a growing hope that the election process can be improved in Nigeria. In this article, we will discuss the future of election technology in Nigeria and the various innovations that can improve the election process.

Since we want the best for the parents of our kids and teenagers at Rubies Technologies, we have taken it upon ourselves to write this blog post that explains how the electioneering in Nigeria would be as easy as anything in Nigeria should our government adopt technology in election process.

Now, let’s have a look at some of these technologies

Electronic Voting Systems (EVS)

Electronic voting systems have been gaining popularity in many countries around the world as a means to improve the election process. In Nigeria, the adoption of EVS can help to reduce human error and increase the transparency of the election process. The use of EVS can also increase the speed and efficiency of the election process, as votes can be counted quickly and accurately.

Blockchain Technology

Blockchain technology is another innovation that has the potential to improve the election process in Nigeria by storing in a secure and transparent manner. This will ensure that the results are not altered or tampered with, making the election process more transparent and trustworthy.

Online Voting

Online voting is another innovation that can be used to improve the election process.

Real-time Results Reporting

Real-time results reporting technology can improve the transparency of the election process by allowing for the immediate reporting of election results. This technology can help prevent election irregularities and increase public confidence in the election process.

Conclusion

The future of election technology in Nigeria holds immense potential to revolutionize the country’s election process. These innovations can help improve the transparency, efficiency, and accuracy of the election process and ensure that all voters have the opportunity to have their voices heard. 

As Nigeria continues to develop and adopt new technologies, the country has the potential to become a leader in the use of technology in the electoral process.

Well, if the current set of leaders fail to adopt these technologies, the kings and queens we are training on several tech skills at Rubies Tech will grow up to become tech-inclined world leaders who would adopt these technologies and make the electioneering process in Nigeria an easy and transparent one.
