Chapter One: Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

Peaceful elections are a cornerstone of democratic governance, fostering stability, inclusion, and legitimacy. In Makera Local Government Area, Kaduna State, electoral processes have occasionally been marred by tension, misinformation, and conflict. Photography, as a visual communication tool, has the potential to promote peaceful elections by documenting electoral processes, showcasing unity, and countering misinformation. According to Ahmed and Bello (2023), photographs of peaceful campaigns, voter education programs, and inclusive participation can inspire trust and confidence in the electoral system. By capturing positive narratives and moments of unity, photography can serve as a catalyst for dialogue and collaboration among stakeholders. This study examines how photography can be used to promote peaceful elections in Makera, emphasizing its role in fostering trust and civic engagement.
