About Watch Nigeria Elections

What We Do

Watch Nigeria Elections is Nigeria's leading real-time election monitoring and transparency platform. We build technology that connects trained field agents directly deployed at polling units across all 36 states and the FCT with citizens everywhere who care about the integrity of Nigerian elections. Our platform enables field agents to stream live video from polling units, post real-time text and photo updates, submit scanned copies of official INEC result sheets, and trigger instant SOS alerts when they witness violence, intimidation, or electoral irregularities.

Who It's For

Our platform serves two audiences working together toward one goal: credible elections.

• Election Agents — Trained, verified field observers physically present at polling units who use our mobile-first tools to report everything they see in real time, from voter accreditation counts to result tallies.
• Nigerian Citizens — Every eligible voter and civic-minded Nigerian who wants independent, verified information about their polling unit, their local government, and the national picture — without relying solely on official announcements.
• Civil Society & Media — Journalists, NGOs, international election observers, and researchers who need reliable, timestamped, geo-tagged data from the field to report accurately and hold institutions accountable.

What Makes Us Different

Unlike traditional election observation bodies that publish reports weeks after polling day, Watch Nigeria Elections delivers verified information within seconds of it happening on the ground. Every agent undergoes identity verification and physical training before deployment. All submitted results and feeds are reviewed by our admin team before being made public. We combine live video streaming, AI-powered OCR result extraction, GPS attendance verification, real-time SOS incident triage, and nationwide analytics into one unified platform built specifically for the Nigerian context.

Who Builds It

Watch Nigeria Elections is built and maintained by a team of Nigerian technologists, civic technology advocates, and democracy practitioners who believe that transparent elections are the foundation of a just society. Our engineers, product designers, and field coordinators work together to ensure the platform remains reliable, secure, and accessible — even on low-bandwidth mobile networks in rural communities. We are committed to the principle that every Nigerian vote deserves to be counted and seen.
