Solving the problems of running successful elections in Emerging Economies We are organising a Hackathon to bring together bright, determined people to help hack the problem of running successful Elections in emerging economies; using the Nigerian elections which come up in 2019 as a focal point. There are numerous technological, ethical, economic and political questions which can be answered by focusing on this theme, and we are looking to explore and address questions such as: 1. Elections are driven by political campaigns, which are dependent significantly on the availability of Big Data and its analysis. In what ways can Big Data be used to ensure fairness in the election process?   2. Elections are significantly affected by social media and the ability to decipher what is real from what is fake. What innovative solutions can we come up with to look into this challenge? 3. Elections are affected by how they are perceived, and the ability to show transparency and hence win credibility. Who can we provide innovative solutions in this space? 4. Elections involve disparate parties including international monitoring organisations who are in need of better ways to gather information and verify Election results. How can we improve the process? 5. In recent times severe allegations have been made about elections being influenced by nation states and corporations. Are there ways in which we can use technology to reduce the impact of external parties in the elections of emerging economies?   6. In recent times, Blockchain technology has gained a lot of traction, but asides building a currency around it, to what extent can Blockchain technology be used to assist the electoral process in results verification? In what ways can blockchain technology be explored in the elections of emerging countries, particularly in the 2019 general elections in Nigeria?
