It also integrates findings from a nationwide opinion poll conducted by NOI Polls, offering fresh citizen perspectives on electoral technology and trust ahead of the 2027 elections.
Athena Electoral Observatory
The Athena Centre will also launch the Athena Electoral Observatory (AEO), a platform that will monitor Nigeria’s elections and election technology, track global and regional innovations in electoral practice, provide evidence-based assessments of reforms, and deliver independent, citizen-focused insights into Nigeria’s democracy.
“The Athena Electoral Observatory will serve as Nigeria’s independent lens on elections— objective, evidence-based, and citizen-focused,” the statement added.
