Is their anyone in Nairaland who is familiar with the difference between the presidential voting process of the US and Nigeria? If so, please share what you know. I need this information for an assignment.

Please, if you have any sources to back up your information, please post those as well.

For one, the organization that is responsible for administering elections (Independent Electoral Commission - INEC) is a federal body, whereas in the U.S., elections are not all "federalized"

How does the INEC affect the voting process of Nigeria, what are the benefits and what are the disadvantages for having this INEC?

This is INEC's website. You can browse through it to aid you in your assignment.

This is a copy of Nigeria's constitution. It could also aid you in your assignment

For your assignment, go to google and research the difference between having all elections held by a central body and having them held by individual municipalities (e.g. town/city, county/local government, state etc)

Good idea, thank you.


I will go to those sites you posted and see what I can find that will help me. I will get back to you and let you know how things turned out.


Thanks again.

Nigerian electoral body or system is akin to Mexican system. I guess that Mexico may have more literature on their electoral process than Nigeria.
