The track records of elections in Nigeria have continued to generate mixed feelings. Many political observers remain sceptical about the appropriateness and ultimate utility of digital tools in the conduct of elections in the country. It is no gainsaying that one of the key elements for the sustenance of democracy is digital tools technology. Taking a stroll down the electoral process of Nigeria since 1999, it can be noted that elections have been characterised by electoral malpractices and violence. The recent introduction of the Smart Card Readers (SCRs) has a great impact on the 2015 general elections and the consolidation of democracy across the country. For instance, the card reader facilities and its security monitoring operating system provide password restricted access to store data with specific playback for criminal investigation and its impact on the 2015 general elections. This paper therefore takes a critical look at the use of the Smart Card Readers (SCRs) as it affects Nigeria’s move towards a viable electoral system and the promotion of democratic values.
