Do Nigerians Feel Safe Participating in the 2027 General Elections?

Public safety and voter confidence are critical pillars of any democratic election. As Nigeria approaches the 2027 General Elections, questions surrounding electoral security, voter protection, and peaceful participation are once again at the forefront of national discourse. The ability of citizens to vote freely, without fear of violence, intimidation, or harassment, directly impacts voter turnout, public trust, and the legitimacy of election outcomes.

The conduct of elections in Nigeria is overseen by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), while security during the electoral process is supported by agencies such as the Nigeria Police Force, the Department of State Services (DSS), and other relevant security bodies. Their collective role is to maintain order, prevent voter intimidation, safeguard electoral materials, and ensure a peaceful voting environment across polling units nationwide.

Despite institutional efforts, concerns sometimes arise regarding election-related violence, ballot snatching, voter suppression, political clashes, and the safety of electoral officials. In certain regions, insecurity, political tensions, and misinformation may also influence citizens’ willingness to participate in elections.

This poll seeks to measure Nigerians’ perception of safety ahead of the 2027 General Elections. Specifically, it aims to explore:

Whether citizens feel physically safe going to polling units

Confidence in security agencies to protect voters

Concerns about electoral violence or intimidation

Willingness to participate despite security challenges

Regional differences in perceived safety

The findings will generate valuable insights into voter confidence levels and help identify areas where additional security, voter education, or conflict-prevention measures may be required. Policymakers, civil society organizations, election observers, researchers, and media institutions can use the data to strengthen electoral preparedness and promote peaceful participation.

Participation in this poll is voluntary, and responses will be used strictly for public opinion research and civic analysis. The goal is to contribute constructively to conversations around electoral safety, democratic engagement, and the protection of citizens’ rights during Nigeria’s 2027 General Elections.
