Voter education is a cornerstone of democratic participation, ensuring that citizens are informed about the importance of registering and protecting their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs). In Ogun State, where the 2027 general elections are approaching, the collaboration between law enforcement and civic groups aims to increase voter turnout and reduce electoral fraud. By empowering market women and youths—demographic groups often underrepresented in the electoral process—the campaign seeks to broaden civic engagement and strengthen the legitimacy of the forthcoming elections.
