Abstract:
This study investigates the Planning Administration and Management of elections in Nigeria with emphasis from 1999 –2010. The study becomes imperative following the deteriorating of the democratic process in Nigeria. We focused our empirical verification on two key areas viz: whether the establishment of the electoral institute and other electoral reforms has strengthened the planning, administration and management of elections in Nigeria. We adopted the traditional management theory we also relied on content analysis and document study as our cardinal method of data collection. From our findings we found out that though the establishment of the electoral institute and other relevant electoral administration and management strategies, there seems to be no striking difference witnessed. The researcher recommends among other things that the establishment of the electoral institute and other relevant electoral administration and management strategies be strengthened for planning, administration and management of subsequent election.
