    Round Table, 2025
    Throughout Nigeria’s history, women have typically participated in civic responsibilities more than men. Women’s turnout in Nigerian elections surpassed that of men. Women’s representation in polit...

    Round Table, 2024
    It should be a matter of concern and sadness that the arbiter of the winners of general elections has, in Nigeria, moved from voters and the polling units to the courts of law. This development, if...

    The proliferation of technological adoption, particularly in the area of cloud-based online storage systems, has elevated the significance of data security as a paramount necessity for users. The preservation of data privacy and availability during the data calculation process is a significant challenge. The evolving storage paradigm has generated a growing demand for dataset privacy and an encryption strategy that enables computation on encrypted data. The electoral process holds significant importance within a democratic society. The conventional voting method poses challenges for individuals who are unable to physically attend polling stations to cast their votes. Those who engage in manipulation and use various strategies to take advantage of the system for their own benefit have plagued the Nigerian electoral process. This study presents a potential framework for secure Internet voting using the Paillier homomorphic cryptosystem. The suggested system guarantees the fulfilment of security requirements, including authentication, accuracy, anonymity, receipt-freeness, reliability, verifiability, and fairness within the context of an election. The suggested scheme ensures compliance with the fundamental needs of a general voting system, including eligibility, correctness, simplicity, privacy, resilience, and verifiability. Moreover, it aligns with the provisions outlined in the Nigerian electoral act and constitution. The implementation uses the central processing unit (CPU) to perform the requisite computations involved in encryption, decryption, validation of votes, and tallying, while the architectural design and flowchart of the proposed system are well spelled out for better understanding of the system. The results show that the Paillier cryptosystem has strong encryption methods and homomorphic properties, which lets e-voting stay private and can be checked.

    Voting remains an integral component of every democratic electoral process. it is an avenue for citizens to exercise their rights in order to elect those who will lead them in various vacant political offices. However, enhancing voters’ trust and confidence in electoral processes are significant factors that could encourage the active participation of citizens in elections. Eligible voters tend to decline to participate in an election when they have a feeling that their votes may not eventually count. Furthermore, electoral processes that lead to the emergence of candidates must be adjudged to be free, fair and credible to a high degree for the result to be widely acceptable. Unacceptable election results could lead to protests and total cancelation of the election thereby resulting in loss of time and resources invested in it. To ensure that only registered voters cast their votes on election days, measures must be put in place to accredit voters on election days effectively. Therefore, this article explores the use of biometric smart cards for voters’ verification and identification. With the Nigerian electoral process in view, the existing Nigerian voting procedure was reviewed, lapses were identified and solutions based on the use of the biometric smart card were proffered. If adopted, the proposed adoption of biometric smart cards for voters’ accreditation will enhance the country’s electoral process thereby ensuring that only registered voters cast their votes. The approach presented could also reduce the number of electoral processes and personnel required during election days, thus reducing voting time and cost.
