SUMMARY:Validation of the 2027 Election Manipulation Risk Index (EMRI) Framework
DESCRIPTION:The meeting  is convened to review\, validate\, and strengthen the methodology\, variables\, indicators\, and analytical framework underpinning the Election Manipulation Risk Index (EMRI). Building on lessons from the deployment of the EMRI during Nigeria’s 2023 general elections\, the validation exercise seeks to ensure that the framework remains contextually relevant and capable of identifying emerging risks associated with election manipulation ahead of the 2027 general elections. \nSpecifically\, participants will examine the conceptual framework\, assess the relevance and adequacy of the proposed indicators\, validate the methodology for measuring manipulation risks\, and provide recommendations to enhance the EMRI as a credible\, evidence-based early warning and risk assessment tool.

SUMMARY:Policy Roundtable on Electronic Transmission and Collation of Election Results
DESCRIPTION:To improve transparency\, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) introduced the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and the INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV) to capture and publicly display polling unit results. However\, the 2023 general elections revealed critical vulnerabilities and implementation gaps. Failures in the upload of polling unit results to IReV\, inconsistencies between physical and electronic results sheets\, and the contested role of these technologies in election litigation have prompted urgent national conversations about the legal framework governing electoral technology\, the operational capacity of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)\, and the evolving role of the judiciary in adjudicating technology-related election disputes. \nYiaga Africa convenes this roundtable in recognition of the critical nexus between electoral technology\, legal frameworks\, and democratic outcomes. The roundtable is premised on the understanding that credible elections in Nigeria require not only robust technological infrastructure but also coherent legal standards\, institutional capacity\, and judicial competence in the application of digital evidence. \nThe roundtable is also situated within Yiaga Africa’s broader Election Manipulation Risk Index (EMRI) and #ANewINEC campaign which undertake comprehensive analysis and tracking of factors that are likely to undermine electoral integrity and also call for the entrenchment of institutional independence ahead of 2027. Technology governance is central to this agenda\, as an independent INEC must demonstrate both the will and the competence to deploy electoral technology with fidelity to electoral integrity.

SUMMARY:Election Observers Training for Inclusive Osun State Governorship Election
DESCRIPTION:Event Description \nTAF Africa is organising a training for election observers ahead of the Osun State off-cycle governorship election to strengthen disability-inclusive election observation and accountability. The training will equip observers with the knowledge and practical skills required to monitor the participation of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs)\, assess the accessibility of polling units\, document compliance with disability-inclusive electoral standards\, and report electoral incidents using the TAF Disability Election Hub platform. \nThe training will combine technical sessions\, practical exercises\, and scenario-based learning to prepare observers for effective deployment on election day. Participants will be guided on observation methodology\, data collection tools\, ethical standards\, incident reporting\, and the use of digital reporting platforms (mainly TAF Africa’s Election Hub app) to ensure timely and credible election observation. By building the capacity of observers to identify and document barriers affecting PWDs\, the training will contribute to evidence-based advocacy\, strengthen electoral accountability\, and support more inclusive\, accessible\, and credible electoral processes in Osun State.
