This study investigates the complex interplay between currency redesign and vote-buying practices, aiming to provide insights into the prevalence, patterns, and dynamics of vote-buying among voters in the context of the redesigned Naira. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, this research combines quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to gather comprehensive data from a representative sample of voters and key informants. The study explores voters'' perceptions of the redesigned Naira, its potential influence on voting decisions, and the strategies employed by political actors in vote-buying attempts. Findings reveal that vote buying remains a persistent challenge in Nigerian elections, with significant variations based on socioeconomic factors. Voters from lower socioeconomic backgrounds are found to be more vulnerable to vote buying, highlighting the need to address underlying disparities to safeguard electoral integrity. The impact of the Naira redesign on vote-buying behavior is ambivalent, with some respondents perceiving enhanced security features as a deterrent, while others suggest minimal effects.
