摘要

选举可以说是民主的标志，也是民主社会保持稳定不可或缺的组成部分。然而，尼日利亚的选举进程受到舞弊和暴力的破坏。选举暴力和舞弊仍然是对尼日利亚民主稳定的主要威胁。为了减少暴力和欺诈的发生，国家选举委员会推出了智能读卡器（SCR），用于验证永久选民卡（PVC）的真实性。2019年选举期间使用的信息和通信技术限制了政治行为者恐吓或骚扰国家选举委员会官员实施选举舞弊的程度，也减少了选举请愿的数量，在拉各斯州，选举期间发生的暴力事件有所减少。Ifeanyi.U.Chukwuma，尼日利亚伊巴丹大学研究员。电子邮件：ify.chukwuma@yahoo.com

8 - The Role of ICT in Curtailing Electoral Fraud and Violence in Nigeria: A Study of the 2019 General Election in Lagos State

Elections can be described as the hallmark of democracy and integral for a democratic society to remain stable. However, electoral process in Nigeria has been marred with fraud and violence. Electoral violence and fraud remain a major threat to the stability of democracy in Nigeria. To reduce the occurrence of violence and fraud, INEC introduced the Smart Card Reader (SCR) which was used to verify the authenticity of the Permanent Voters Card (PVC). The use of ICT during the 2019 elections limited the extent to which political actors can intimidate or harass INEC officials to commit electoral fraud, it also reduced the number of electoral petitions and in Lagos State, there was a reduction in violence experienced during the elections.

期刊介绍： Africa Development (ISSN 0850 3907) is the quarterly bilingual journal of CODESRIA published since 1976. It is a social science journal whose major focus is on issues which are central to the development of society. Its principal objective is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas among African scholars from a variety of intellectual persuasions and various disciplines. The journal also encourages other contributors working on Africa or those undertaking comparative analysis of developing world issues. Africa Development welcomes contributions which cut across disciplinary boundaries. Articles with a narrow focus and incomprehensible to people outside their discipline are unlikely to be accepted.
