NIGERIA ELECTION WATCH, ISSUE 1 [1]
	Citizens of   Africa&rsquo;s most populous country will go to the
polls in April to elect their   leaders for the fourth time since
Nigeria&rsquo;s transition to civilian   government in 1998-99. NDI
is conducting an   international observation mission to analyze the
electoral process before,   during and after the elections. This is
the first in a series of reports based   on the observations of
NDI&rsquo;s long-term observers, who are   assessing the electoral
process in each of Nigeria's six   geopolitical zones from January
through May 2011.  

	In this edition: 

   	*Voter registration begins and the Independent National Electoral
Commission pledges to fix early problems       	*Details on the
conduct and results of the party primaries that preceded registration
	*Accreditation for observers comes later than expected
