Electpoll
After over 20 elections conducted, reaching over 8000 voters across different platforms, let's take a step back to understand Electpoll as a case study. Electpoll isn’t just another e-voting platform; it's a bold response to the glaring inefficiencies in the Nigerian electoral process. Case Study Link.
