How do we measure progress in a democracy—by the ease of voting, the cost of elections, or the balance of representation? As Nigeria’s electoral landscape continues to evolve, pressing questions emerge about access, transparency, and the future of governance.
In this edition of The Ballot, we examine pivotal changes and proposals that could reshape the country’s democratic framework. INEC is exploring the legalisation of voting without a PVC, signaling a shift toward broader voter inclusion. The Senate is considering amendments that would consolidate all major elections into a single day—potentially a game-changer in cost and efficiency.
We also delve into critical conversations about gender parity in politics, increasing defections across party lines, and calls for peaceful local elections from traditional rulers. These developments underscore the dynamic nature of Nigeria’s political environment—and the need for informed engagement.
