Unexpected happenings like political parties opposing each other
with uncountable grievous allegations, unscrupulous online election
polls, religious leaders meddling into politics with various seemingly
real and ‘not-so-real’ revelations and predictions and many more.
However, we are not here to talk about that.
Yes, it is not new that online polls are conducted during
election period to set the pace for the hearts of Nigerians. It also
helps to know the probable candidate that MIGHT at the end of the day
win the election when it is properly done by the Independent National
Electoral Commission.
Well, we have had various online polls since the elections 2015 has been in view. While some were commendable, some did not go well with people because it did not favor the party or the candidate in which they support.
This brings us to a group called YOUTH BALLOT EVOLUTION. The group is aimed at getting all Nigerian youths which constitute the largest voting block of 75% (according to the group) of registered voters, to fully participate in the election by exercising their voting rights.

The group’s Facebook page has garnered about 82, 851 likes and it
recently conducted an online poll on who will win between Peoples
Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan
and the All Progressives Congress’ Presidential Candidate, Rtd. Gen.
Muhammad Buhari in the coming February 14 elections.
According to the poll results,
President Jonathan emerged winner of the Presidential opinion poll with
APC’s Muhammadu Buhari following closely behind.. The page claimed the election poll was not conducted online but those who participated in the poll dialed a toll free number and followed the voice prompt. Following questions and criticisms
by APC supporters, they said only one vote; the first vote was allowed
per person irrespective of how many times the caller called in to vote.
