BallotGuard: Nigeria Elections

⚠️ INDEPENDENT PLATFORM — NOT AN OFFICIAL INEC PRODUCT
BallotGuard is developed by NegoLinks Systems Ltd, a private civic technology company. This app does NOT represent the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) or any government entity. It is an independent election monitoring and transparency tool.

An always-on public tally anyone can follow in real time — polling units reported, percentage collated, states reporting, total votes counted, and the leading parties across the Presidential, Governorship, Senatorial and House of Reps races. Clearly labelled as independent observation data — BallotGuard does not declare official winners.

🔐 PRIVACY & SECURITY
