Nigeria’s Mandatory Voting Bill: A Flawed Fix for Voter Apathy? A controversial bill proposing compulsory voting for Nigerians—with penalties of ₦100,000 fines, six-month imprisonment, or both—has drawn sharp criticism from civil society group Global Rights, which labeled the move “undemocratic” and “misguided.” The bill, currently before the House of Representatives, seeks to amend the Electoral Act 2022 to enforce voter participation. Here’s why activists argue it misses the mark.
