Election In My Country - How The Steem Blockchain Can Help In Providing Free and Fair Election

Today is the much-anticipated momentous day when Nigerians elect the country's next president. We have three capable individuals running for president from various political parties.

The election has received widespread attention on social media, the campaign has been dramatic, and it appears that the youth of Nigeria have chosen the candidate they think would do the most to improve the nation's position. I have carefully examined the backgrounds of the three strong prospects. The Labor Party (LP), the People's Democratic Party (PDP), and the All Progressives Congress (APC), respectively, are three political parties that these three capable candidates belong to. They represent the three major tribes in Nigeria, the Igbo, Hausa, and Yoruba.

I've been spreading the word and urging people to demonstrate in large numbers to exercise their civil rights as a decent citizen of my nation. I got ready so early to be in line because I didn't want to wait around for too long, even though the voting period today starts at 8 a.m. The Inec officials showed up within schedule, and I quickly cast my ballot for my favored candidate.

Most of the youths, based on what I have observed thus far and after today's update on the voting, are without voter identity cards (PVC). In short, they are merely internet supporters who are not acting physically. I wonder how we intend to make the change we so desperately want to happen. Many people were hesitant to obtain voter registration cards, but now they are demanding change. Although I am not entirely satisfied with what I have learned so far, I can only put my faith in God for a better Nigeria.

By exercising my civil rights, I have done my part; no man or woman can buy me out of my decision.

According to reports, some polling units became so raucous as thugs were causing trouble; all of these things were predicted anyhow. We are in Nigeria. Nonetheless, I am confident that all will work out in the end. Considering the current state of affairs, I had the thought, "What if the Steem blockchain was utilized in the general election?" Here are some of the reasons I think the Steem blockchain will contribute to a free and fair election.
