Abstract
The focus of this research is to identify the factors influencing public participation in election in Cross River State, Nigeria. This concern is in response to global advocacy for the promotion of capitalist development under democratic governance in non- western societies. Accordingly, the theoretical framework is premised on political economy of modernization which reflects the relationship between the infrastructure and superstructure of the society, both of which are characterized by complimentary competition. To carry out this research, five research questions have been raised whose contents constitute the research problems. The scope of the study covers the three senatorial districts of Cross River State. The target population is the total number of registered voters in the study area before the 2019 general elections by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The sample size derived from six selected local government areas is 400, using Taro Yamane formula.
