Call for Consultant: Web Design and Development
According to a publication on https://www.premiumtimesng.com on February 27, 2019, after the 2019 presidential election, Nigeria recorded 1,289,607 void votes nationwide. This trend, according to political analysts, means that Nigerian voters are getting less educated in the balloting system, hence the need for more voter education in the country. Also, in discussion with People Living with disability in Imo State, they highlighted that they do not receive any form of Voters Education prior to the election period. Access to information about their pulling unit, how to vote and voting days is always a challenge for them.
