Welcome To Plus Politics 
people's active participation in elections is one of the key measures of electoral democracy. the lack of interests or apathy in elections tends to undervalue the democratic process, engender mistrust in political institutions, and enthrone unaccountable leadership. this is why voter turnout is a crucial aspect of electoral studies.

nigeria has successfully undergone two decades of uninterrupted democracy, nevertheless, recent years have shown a trend of civilian engagement in the electoral process declining. there has been a conspicuous decline in voter turnouts in general elections since 2003, particularly presidential and gubernatorial elections.

one of the ways to improve the quality of elections in nigeria is to increase voter turnout and boost the participation of nigerian citizens in their own vibrant democracy. the more voters there are, the harder it is for bad actors to taint the democratic process with violence or suppression.
