Increasing Voter Turn-Up Using Mobile Phones as a Voting Tool

Because of defective elective elections which have been witnessed in the African continent for decades, some African countries have jumped onto the bandwagon of using electronic voting (e-Voting). E-Voting entails the use of technology in the voting processes. This chapter brings out the progress that has been made so far in e-Voting and comments on the extent to which this impacts the advancement of the overall principles of a democracy. The lessons outlined in the chapter may go a long way in informing future e-Voting interventions, especially in a developing world context.
