“It is not our diversity which divides us; it is not our ethnicity or religion or culture that divides us. Since we have achieved our freedom, there can only be one division amongst us: between those who cherish democracy and those who do not.

”

- Nelson Mandela

(Former President of South Africa)

Dear ,

We are excited to announce the launch of electionwatchng.com - a new portal that allows citizens to upload signed copies of their polling unit Result Sheets and compare them to INEC's official results (IRev uploads). With this platform, citizens can now verify that their polling unit results have been accurately reflected on INEC's IRev portal.

EiE Election Call Centre

In line with our mission, we set up the EiE Election Call Centre in collaboration with INEC Lagos during the last Presidential & National Assembly Elections to provide answers to citizens with questions pertaining to the elections, and to escalate urgent complaints to INEC.

The Call Centre opened about 12 hours before the start of the polls, and we helped to resolve over 200 complaints!We encourage all citizens to participate actively in the electoral process and report any issues they encounter during the March 11th Governorship & State House of Assembly Elections through our Election Call Center.
