SUMMARY:Election 101 in 5 -TV Show
DESCRIPTION:Prior to the 2023 elections and to contribute to improving civic and voter education\, Yiaga Africa with funding from the European Union produced Election 101 in 5 an info-educative show to provide citizens and elections stakeholders with short-form videos on the legal framework for the conduct of the 2023 Elections. This contributed significantly in translating complex electoral provisions into simple actionable knowledge that reassured citizens\, clarified the electoral processes and demonstrated how individual and stakeholders’ actions contribute to credible elections. The show successfully reached diverse audiences across television and digital platforms\, generating strong engagement and demonstrating that audiences are receptive to simplified\, practical explanations of electoral concepts when delivered in an accessible format.  \nAs the country counts down to the 2027 general election and pockets of off-cycle elections\, which will be conducted with the newly enacted Electoral Act\, it has become imperative to reintroduce Election 101 in 5 as a strategic\, scaled-up intervention that transforms the Electoral Act\, 2026 into a series of engaging\, five-minute educational episodes. The initiative is designed not only to inform but also to influence behavior by equipping citizens and stakeholders with the knowledge they need to participate effectively and comply with electoral laws and addresss knowledge gaps and prevent misinformation.  \nThe Election 101 in 5 The show is premised on the theory of change that if electoral laws and processes are simplified\, accessible and engaging and if citizens and electoral stakeholders are equipped with practical knowledge and actionable steps\, then voter participation will increase\, improved stakeholders compliance misinformation will be minimalized and electoral integrity will be strengthened. The 40 eipsodes show will be in batches to cover the diffrent stages of the election cycle. The show is structured into different thematic categories addressing critical aspects of Nigeria’s electoral and democratic processes. The first series comprising 13 episodes\, will focus on political party primaries and related provisions of the Electoral Act. The programme will air at 7:55pm on Channels TV.
