AB  - Over the years, Nigeria has been desirous of a
credible voting system due to the irregularities that
hampered previous elections which include: ballot
stuffing, intimidation of voters, hijacking of ballot boxes,
violence and manipulation of election results. Hence, the
independent national electoral commission introduced
direct data capture machine technology in 2007 which
produced the electronic voter’s register and smart card
readers which has since been used for all elections.
Though the introduction of electronic voter’s register and
smart card readers improved the electoral process,
research reveals that it is yet, to achieve the desired
results. Hence, this study aims at studying the required
E-voting system in Nigeria and the barriers to its full
implementation as well as the way forward. It is believed
that the full implementation of E-voting system in Nigeria
would save the country from the awful experiences of the
past as it promises free, fair, transparent, convenient and
confidential elections as well as the speedy processing of
results.
