Abstract
The key result expectation during elections is a function of measure of
performance of the Commission (National Electoral Commission of Nigeria).
The Commission consolidates its achievement through effective logistic
management. Electioneering logistics involve a systematic break down of
various systems, subsystems, components, variables and other integrated
strategies and policies required for a hitch-free balloting. Some of these
systems include finance, efficient transport facilities and networks, manpower
utilization and distribution networks.
The heterogeneous nature of our geographical landscape and inadequacy
of the above systems coupled with the country's peculiar political instability
and ethnic prejudice have complicated the planning, simulation and
implementation of these logistics for the free and fair elections in the country.
As a source of information used for the study, questionnaires were
designed, administered, retrieved and analyzed for the purpose of testing some
of the hypotheses which appeared very meaningful in the discussion. The study
revealed that economy, power, ethnic sentiments and curiosity are the major
-easons for the various abuse of electoral logistics.
The researcher carried out appropriate study on the autonomy and status
of National Electoral Commission of Nigeria, stock and replacement
xi
management, distribution channels and strategies, queuing system, routing
and scheduling models required for the integration and synchronization of the
various logistic components toward achieving a hitch-free balloting.
