Ethiopia Studies Nigeria’s Poll Model

Ethiopian election officials began a week-long study visit to Nigeria to learn from its electoral system and governance structure. The delegation, led by the National Election Board of Ethiopia and the Coalition of Ethiopian CSOs for Elections, met with INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu, who called it an opportunity for mutual learning between Africa’s two most populous nations. Sessions will cover voter registration, election monitoring, civic education, and inclusion of displaced persons in electoral processes.
