This paper examines the 2023 election procedures cum the nature of the political climate experienced and frames an Automated Election Management System (AEMS) model credible for promoting conducive politico-climate tooptimise the significance of votes. The qualitative technique was adopted. This paper argues that except the entire election process in Nigeria is automated, votes would still not count in future elections. The fate of democracy, the country\u2019s global standing will remain in doubt and her foreign policy will continually glitch.This paper is significant as it contributes to existing literature on the imperative of automated election processin promoting democratic principles.It equally serves as policy guide for domestic, regional and international interventions on election matters.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>SHAIBU, M.
