Threats to the integrity of elections are scaling up and aiming to outflank the tech-enabled security features being introduced by Nigeria’s Elections Management body – INEC. What are the prospects of deployment of IT in societies where digital literacy is less than 30% or where the state of power infrastructure is dismal? Given previous experience with I.T. hacks, what safeguards exist to prevent identity theft, multiple voting, and vote buying?
These and other questions are examined by a seasoned panel of electoral and criminal justice experts in the first of a 3 – part public webinar and roundtable series on Elections, Integrity and Accountability in Nigeria.
