SUMMARY:Election 101 in 5 -TV Show

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.
