The determinants of electronic voting adoption: Independent National Electoral Commission of Nigeria employees' perspective

The trend in the technological development has made the use of information technology and supporting devices mandatory in virtually all aspects of life. Yet the development of an Information system can be rejected by users due to several factors, that can be costly if left unsolved. This study inves...
