Nigerians vote:Will technology replace trust?

Even though it has been argued that technology cannot replace a lack of trust in the framework of a country’s electoral process, or by itself build that trust, it has also been noticed in the past decade that election management bodies globally have increasingly relied on ICTs to improve the accuracy, security and integrity of their electoral processes.



Much of this is seen with regards to voter registration, results management and the recent talk about electronic voting. Appropriately introduced, technology can add major benefits to an electoral process. The use of ICT, including social media has opened up additional avenues of assisting in the conduct of free, fair and credible elections.
