Dates for each stage are announced on this page and across Stay Focus Family channels.

The code proves each vote comes from a real person with a real email address. It is how we keep Merit voting at one vote per person.
Choose a nominee, pick the number of votes and pay through Paystack using your card, bank transfer or USSD. Your votes are added as soon as Paystack confirms the payment.
Votes are usually added within a few seconds. If they do not appear within an hour, contact us with your payment reference from the Paystack receipt and we will check it.
