Introduction
How not to rig an election is a project designed to create an early warning system for identifying, interrogating and arresting election malpractice before they happen, especially in this election cycle.
It is a forensic look at the 2007 elections, to enable us look forward towards the 2011 election.
Elections in Nigeria have for the last six or so decades followed a fairly predictable path of 'rigging'. Even so, the 2007 elections by most accounts were the worst elections in living memory
This Project examines 'the who,' 'the what,' 'the when,' 'the how,' and 'the why,' of the 2007 elections.
The Event
Making Election Rigging History!
Transformation is tough in any language but with ingenuity and passion anything can be overcome. March 2nd in Nigeria was the culmination of many peoples dreams. But in fact was just another step on a critical journey...
The incredible 'system of thinking' that the team built is one thing. Tackling the underlying causes and making them end is something else entirely. We cannot underestimate the importance of the intervention but we can't overestimate the criticality of sustaining what it means.
Many themes emerged. Many ideas for what to do next. Much debate about what to 'Stay doing', what to 'Start doing differently' and what must 'Stop'. The big questions were therefore – "What must we do?" and "How do we do it?"
