Why TryVote exists
TryVote Nigeria is an independent civic engagement platform created to make participation in Nigeria’s elections feel more visible, simple and engaging.
Ahead of the 2027 elections, many Nigerians feel politically discouraged or disconnected from the electoral process. TryVote gives people a simple way to take part in unofficial presidential and governorship mock votes online, follow live public-opinion results and share the conversation with others.
Our goal
Our goal is to encourage civic interest and real-world participation — helping more Nigerians stay informed, register where eligible, collect their PVCs and turn up to vote in official elections.
What we believe good civic technology should do
- Make important information easier to understand.
- Be clear about what its data can and cannot show.
- Protect participation without building unnecessary personal profiles.
- Correct mistakes and update information when reliable sources change.
- Encourage real-world civic action rather than replace it.
Languages
The main TryVote experience supports English, Nigerian Pidgin, Hausa, Igbo and Yorùbá. The non-English civic copy is scheduled for a final native-speaker review before public launch.
