Hello everyone, I have recently completed an INEC Election Analysis Dashboard for Eleme LGA in Rivers State Nigeria using Power Bi. The data source is the INEC Website.
Observation: The analysis report reveals that there are 200 Polling Units in Eleme LGA and 9 Wards, namely Agbonchia, Akpajo, Alesa, Aleto, Alode, Ebubu, Ekporo, Ogale, and Onne. The total number of Registered Voters is 87,754, with 16,030 Accredited Votes and 14,699 Valid Votes.
Key Findings:
Agbonchia has 6,002 Registered votes, 1,339 Accredited votes, and 1,836 Valid Votes, with a total of 25 Polling Units.
Akpajo has 7,331 Registered votes, 1,262 Accredited votes, and 1,256 Valid Votes, with a total of 18 Polling Units.
Alesa has 9,693 Registered votes, 1,614 Accredited votes, and 1,482 Valid Votes, with a total of 22 Polling Units.
Aleto has 13,352 Registered votes, 3,295 Accredited votes, and 2,228 Valid Votes, with a total of 28 Polling Units.
Alode has 9,008 Registered votes, 1,726 Accredited votes, and 1,591 Valid Votes, with a total of 19 Polling Units.
Ebubu has 13,686 Registered votes, 1,574 Accredited votes, and 1,475 Valid Votes, with a total of 22 Polling Units.
Ekporo has 3,008 Registered votes, 357 Accredited votes, and 327 Valid Votes, with a total of 5 Polling Units.
Ogale has 9,291 Registered votes, 2,162 Accredited votes, and 1,861 Valid Votes, with a total of 20 Polling Units.
Onne has 16,303 Registered votes, 2,701 Accredited votes, and 2,647 Valid Votes, with a total of 35 Polling Units.
From the breakdown, Onne has the highest valid vote of 2,647, followed by Aleto with 2,228 and Ogale with 1,861.
For registered voters, Onne has the highest number at 16,303, followed by Ebubu at 13,686 and Aleto at 13,352.
Recommendation:
1. Increase Voter Engagement in Low Turnout Areas: Polling units like Ekporo and Agbonchia have low accredited and valid votes compared to their registered voters. It is recommended to implement targeted voter education campaigns to encourage higher participation in these areas.
2. Resource Allocation to High-Performing Units: Onne, with the highest number of valid votes and registered voters, should be a focal point for future electoral strategies. Additional resources and support could enhance voter turnout and ensure the integrity of the voting process in this high-engagement area.
3. Encouragement of Political Participation: Initiatives aimed at increasing political awareness and participation, particularly in units with lower engagement, should be prioritized. This can include community forums, candidate meet-and-greets, and educational workshops on the electoral process.
