Why we are focused on the 2027 Elections.
The 2027 General Elections provide an important opportunity for Nigerians to put informed, independent and responsible participation into practice.
Our focus on 2027 does not mean that PETOOP supports any political party or candidate. It means we are choosing a specific election cycle around which to organize our civic education, community engagement and voter empowerment efforts.
2027
One election cycle. One opportunity to help build a more informed and empowered electorate.
An opportunity to empower citizens.
Between now and 2027, there is an opportunity to help more citizens understand the value of their vote and participate confidently in the electoral process.
Reject Vote Buying
Help citizens understand why their vote should not be exchanged for money, food, gifts, transport or other short-term benefits.
Make Informed Choices
Encourage voters to understand the issues, examine information and make their electoral choices freely and independently.
Know How to Vote
Help citizens understand the voting process and what they need to know before they go to the polls.
Protect Their Votes
Empower citizens to understand how to protect their votes and participate responsibly throughout the electoral process.
Stay for the Count
Where lawful and safe, encourage citizens to remain engaged through the counting and result announcement process.
Make Every Vote Count
Encourage citizens to help ensure that votes are properly counted and their choices are respected.
Democracy does not begin on election day.
Our work is about preparing citizens before the election, empowering them during the election and helping them remain engaged afterwards.
Before the Election
Build awareness, provide civic education, connect communities and help citizens understand the value of their vote.
During the Election
Encourage peaceful participation, informed voting and responsible protection of the electoral process.
After the Vote
Help citizens remain engaged with the counting, results and broader democratic process.
One citizen at a time. One community at a time.
2027 is our opportunity to build a more informed, empowered and engaged electorate — one citizen and one community at a time.
