Background of the Study
School elections are essential for fostering democratic participation and leadership skills among students. Traditionally, secondary schools in Dutse Local Government Area, Jigawa State, conduct elections manually, which can be time-consuming, prone to errors, and open to manipulation. As the need for efficiency, security, and transparency in elections grows, adopting a digital voting system can address these issues. A digital voting system allows for automated vote counting, easy verification, and greater participation by students, while reducing the likelihood of human error and fraud.
With the increasing integration of technology in education, adopting digital tools for managing school elections presents an opportunity to enhance the overall experience for both students and school administrators. By implementing a secure and user-friendly voting system, schools can encourage greater student participation, increase the efficiency of the election process, and promote transparency and fairness. This study explores the feasibility and impact of implementing a digital voting system for school elections in secondary schools within Dutse Local Government Area.
Statement of the Problem
In Dutse Local Government Area, school elections are often marred by inefficiencies, including the time spent tallying votes manually, the risk of human error, and limited accessibility. This results in delayed outcomes, reduced student involvement, and a lack of transparency. The current manual process could be improved through the introduction of a digital voting system that ensures a streamlined, secure, and transparent election process. However, there is a gap in knowledge regarding the feasibility, implementation challenges, and potential benefits of such a system in this context.
