Digital Voter Registration

Opportunities and Risks

Digital voter registration offers a pathway to a more inclusive and efficient electoral process in Nigeria. With increased accessibility and greater convenience for all, it holds the promise of improving voter participation and data accuracy.

However, this innovation is not without risks. The potential for identity theft, data breaches, and the exclusion of marginalized groups due to digital barriers must not be ignored. Infrastructure gaps and technical issues also pose serious challenges.

To truly benefit from digital registration, Nigeria must adopt secure systems, equitable access policies, and continuous digital literacy efforts.

Let’s build a digital democracy that works for all.
