Background of the Study
Vote collation is a critical stage in the electoral process, as it determines how votes are recorded, counted, and verified before final results are announced. Transparent collation processes enhance electoral integrity, while irregularities in collation can lead to election disputes, manipulation, and public distrust (Adigun & Olanrewaju, 2023). In Nigeria, concerns over vote collation have frequently been raised, particularly regarding the accuracy, security, and credibility of the process.
Bauchi South Senatorial District has witnessed allegations of inconsistencies in vote collation, with reports of manual errors, result alterations, and delays affecting public confidence in election outcomes. This study examines how vote collation processes impact election transparency in Bauchi South.
