The Commonwealth Observer Group, chaired by the former President of the United Republic of Tanzania Jakaya Kikwete, witnessed the general elections in Nigeria.
The Commonwealth regularly sends teams to observe and report on the conduct of elections. We help build lasting democratic institutions, enabling citizen participation and representation at national and local level. We believe in invitation, not intervention, and follow the principles outlined in the international declaration and code of conduct for election observers.
Nigeria is the largest economy in Africa and a key member of the Commonwealth family. The Commonwealth has a long tradition of supporting the nation’s democratic development through election observation. This will be the sixth time a Commonwealth Observer Group will be observing elections in Nigeria, since 1999.

This is in no way a political statement. Just a few random pictures from the 2021 federal election campaign.
Dies ist in keiner Weise eine politische Aussage. Einfach ein paar zufällige Bilder vom Bundestagswahlkampf 2021.
Delmar Maryland. In small towns running for an elected position in town government is almost considered civic duty. There is no money or very little money involved and what ever way you vote at least 25 percent of the voters are going to disagree with you.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Election_Day_(United_States)
Election Day in the United States is the day set by law for the election of public officials. It occurs on the Tuesday after the first Monday of November. The earliest possible date is November 2 and the latest possible date is November 8. Election Day is November 2, 2010 this year.
Election Day is a civic holiday in some states, including Delaware, Hawaii, Kentucky, Montana, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and West Virginia. Some other states require that workers be permitted to take time off from employment without loss of pay. California Elections Code Section 14000 provides that employees otherwise unable to vote must be allowed two hours off with pay, at the beginning or end of a shift.
Some activists oppose this date on the grounds that it decreases voter turnout because most citizens work on Tuesdays, and advocate making election day a federal holiday or allowing voters to cast their ballots over two or more days. The United Auto Workers union has negotiated making Election Day a holiday for its workers at the U.S. domestic auto manufacturers.
Many states have implemented early voting, which allows the voters to cast ballots, in many cases up to a month early. Also, all states have some kind of absentee ballot system. The state of Oregon, for example, performs all major elections through Postal voting that are sent to voters several weeks before Election Day. Some companies will let their employees come in late or leave early on Election Day to allow them an opportunity to get to their precinct and vote.
In what could hardly be described as a knife-edge election, Kim was returned to the leadership of the Worker's Party of Korea. It probably helps that your father lies in state as the President for all eternity, and that your picture is in every home in the country. Not being photogenic isn't, apparently, a handicap.
Note a key feature of communist propaganda which is to describe the emotions of its subjects:
"At the historic moment when ht was re-elected as WPK General Secretary, all the participants burst into thunderous cheers of hurrah overwhelmed with great joy and a feeling of surging respect and extended the greatest respect and warmest congratulations to him."

January 23, 2006. Ok this is a crappy picture I know (my apologies). It was way too dark, my telephoto lens way too unsteady but it was election day in Canada and I just wanted to record something of us all voting. Here's the entrance to my voting poll at a local east end Montreal school with lots of people putting Democracy into action. Turn out seemed high by what I saw. Now the big question... how big a change are we all going to make if any?

WASHINGTON - Hillary Rodham Clinton ended her historic campaign for the presidency on Saturday and told supporters to unite behind rival Barack Obama, closing out a race that was as grueling as it was groundbreaking.
The former first lady, who as recently as Tuesday declared herself the strongest candidate, gave Obama an unqualified endorsement and pivoted from her role as determined foe to absolute ally.

San Francisco Mtns from Marshall Lake, Flagstaff. That's the "lake" in the foreground -- it's dry this year. It was Election Night 2004, and I camped in solitude in open juniper-pine woodland at a random spot on National Forest land near Flagstaff. It was up over 7100' & the coldest night of my trip (27F when I went to bed), and I built a little fire -- something I seldom do, but the site seemed lightly used and there was plenty of downed wood, so I decided the ecological impact was acceptable. Hopefully that judgement didn't have anything to do with my shivers. :-) Warm feet while camping: a novel luxury! NB: isopropyl rubbing alcohol makes good lighter fluid (necessity is a mother :-) -- as you can see from the snow, the site was pretty damp, & the pine wouldn't burn worth a damn. But I discovered that the twigs of oily juniper lit up nicely).
So I nursed my little fire, and listened to election returns on the car radio until the wee hours, and quietly mourned, while a great horned owl joined in.
