Nigerian women are known to play vital roles as mothers, producers, time managers, community or ganizers and socio-political activists. But despite the major roles they play and their population, the society has not given recognition to this and to the fact that they are discriminated against. The Nigerian society being a pat riarchal one, clearly manifests the social categorization of women implicit as being inferior to men and therefor e, not capable or suitable for political leadership. This study therefore, is an assessment of women participation in electoral politics using 2003, 2007 and 2011 general elections in Ekiti State, Nigeria as its focus. Available data on the elections were collected from the electoral body responsible for the conduct of el ections in the countryIndependent National Electoral Commission (INEC)to determine the level of involveme nt of women in the elections. It was discovered in the study that, despite the political enlightenment campaigns, women’s participation in electoral politics is still at the lowest ebb. The study therefore highlights the factors th at are inhibiting women active participation in electoral politics and makes suggestions on the way forward.
