To the members of the Electoral Committee of the Nigerian Bar Association,
We have scrutinized the 2024 Nigerian Bar Association National Officers Election on behalf of the Electoral Committee of the Nigerian Bar Association and their designates. We confirm that we have no affiliation with, and are independent of the Nigerian Bar Association, and as such, are not impacted by or have any interest in the outcome of the election. We act as independent service providers and scrutineers to ensure a fair, independent election with voting integrity.
The Electoral Committee of the Nigerian Bar Association and their designates are responsible for the information included and delivered in the election, including the election dates, election notice details and delivery, the contents of the election ballot, and the composition of the election voter list. ElectionBuddy staff have not reviewed the organization bylaws or legal statutes which relate to the Nigerian Bar Association or the 2024 Nigerian Bar Association National Officers Election. This review is the responsibility of the members of the organization and their designate, Electoral Committee of the Nigerian Bar Association.
Based on the information provided to the ElectionBuddy system, the following was noted:
- Only voters on the voter list voted.
- Each voter only voted once, based on their unique access key.
- Any ballots which were not completed were not included in the results.
- A unique hash was available to each voter upon successful submission of their ballot to ensure that their vote was included in the results, and to ensure that the voter’s ballot submission was not tampered with or otherwise changed.
At the completion of the election, ElectionBuddy staff perform limited procedures, which includes review of the voter list, voting process, examination of the results, and inquiries of management. We believe that the review and results of our procedures provide a reasonable basis to confirm our report.
