Electoral fraud is a global problem that is demanding attention from all nooks and crannies. The developed like the developing world are all trapped in this enclosure of violating electoral laws thus, engendering criminality of all kinds. The acts of political thuggery, intimidation, harassment, vote buying, disenfranchisement, impersonation, tempering with election votes amongst others are phenomenal and have led to assault, affray, assassination, street violence, kidnapping, abduction and armed robbery. This situation is worsen by acrimony and vendetta brought about by character assassination and rivalry. These calls for a study to x-ray the duality of election fraud and criminality in Nigeria: the alchemy and agony of winning the votes and losing the counts. The study adopted jurisdictional election fraud theory and the conspiracy election fraud theory to explain the issue under discuss. The study was a survey that used quality data. The Key Informant Interview (KII) and Focus Group Discuss (FGD) were used. Twenty-four (24) KII and two (2) sets of eight (8) participants each for male and females were used for the FGD. The samples were drawn using simple random and purposive sampling technique. Manual content analysis and ethnographic summaries were used to analyze the data. It was concluded that electoral fraud is bad and capable of spinning the wheel of criminality in a geometrical progression and should be discouraged. It was recommended that government, NGOs and community leaders; parents, the youths and the entire society should wake up to their reality and combat this evil that has been cohabiting with us in Nigeria for a long time.
