Electoral fraud; its epidmization and intractability remain one of the major infelicities of politicking in the Nigerian state. It has come with very damnable consequences on governance and the overall development of the nation with the ultimate causality being the poor masses constituting the majority of the nation's population. This paper attempts to fashion out a framework within which the observational data on the nature of election and electoral fraud within the context of the democratic experience of the fourth republic of the Nigerian state can be understood and to also proffer workable solutions.
