Elections & Democratic Governance

In advocating for free, fair, and credible election and deepening the tenets of democratic governance in Nigeria, our advocacy revolves around civic engagement, research and documentation, election monitoring, sensitization, media watch, budget tracking among others.

As part of our clamor for transparency, accountability and equity in democratic governance, we engage in projects directed at monitoring the performances of elected representatives and demanding response from them on relevant national or local developmental issues; holding politicians and political institutions to account; monitoring various aspects of the electoral process to minimize nefarious activities such as unlawful use of state administrative resources for private electioneering campaigns and cases of electoral violence and other malpractices.

In this regard, we extend our advocacy efforts to monitoring the enforcement of sanctions against persons who violate the electoral law; and to broad civic and voter education about the importance of the elections, the voter registration process, and where, when, and how to register and vote.
