  • 摘要:2015 General Elections conducted in Nigeria is seen to be the most credible election since the inception of the democratic governance in Nigeria. During this process, the Voters Register (VR), Permanent Voters Card (PVC) and Smart Card Reader (SCR) were introduced into the system to identify, authenticate and verify individual voters. Twitter and other social media platforms were highly exploited by both candidates and voters to air their views on the elections. This work adresses the design and implemention of a tool that delivers election data analytics from multiple data sources, which includes twitter, Voter Register (VR) and SCR Smart Card Readers (SCR) from 2015 general elections. The tweets are being processed by the extraction of metadata, geocoding the physical addresses and analyzing the sentiments of the content of each tweets. These results are further compared and combined with the data from VR and SCR into a front-end visualization applications. Ultimately we show relationship between the above data analytics and subsequent outcome of elections.
