VOTER

The Validating the Office of The Electorate on Representation (VOTER) Project is a series of citizen awareness and engagement activities anchored on specially curated voter education; stewardship accountability for public officials, collating and interrogating campaign promises; and mounting an organised citizen monitoring and observatory of  the National Assembly elections.

The VOTER Project is designed under the premise that the conduct of elections for executive (President and Governors) and legislative (National and State Assemblies) simultaneously tends to create a bandwagon effect on the outcome of the polls.

The Project is anchored on the theory of change that if citizens base their electoral choices for legislative offices on quality representation based on established performance indicators; If citizens are adequately informed of the functions and roles of legislators; Then, advocacy for needed governance reforms and effective delivery of democratic dividends will be substantially enhanced.

To facilitate this process, the Stewardship Tracking for Accountable Representation (STAR) database acts as a direct messaging platform, tracked real-time by OrderPaper. It offers a valuable resource for citizen engagement and informed decision-making, featuring detailed profiles of all 469 National Assembly members.
