It's become much harder to rig elections in Nigeria thanks to technology


Using two-step authentication helps to increase the security of elections.

Nigeria’s electoral commission has also worked with cyber-security experts to implement the upgrades to its election systems. What remains is to ensure compliance with new regulations.
