Background of the Study
Voter registration is a crucial aspect of electoral processes in Nigeria, as it determines the extent of citizens' participation in democratic governance. However, in Jalingo North Local Government Area (LGA) of Taraba State, voter registration has been affected by various geopolitical issues, including political affiliations, ethnic considerations, and resource allocation. Geopolitical factors, such as political leadership, regional influence, and the control of electoral resources, often shape voter registration efforts. These issues can either facilitate or hinder the registration process, particularly in marginalized communities where political interests often outweigh the need for inclusivity. This study aims to investigate how these geopolitical issues influence voter registration in Jalingo North and how political and ethnic factors interact to affect the quality and fairness of the electoral process in the region.
1.2 Statement of the Problem

The study will explore how these issues undermine the fairness of the electoral process and propose strategies to address them.
