President Bola Tinubu has signed the Electoral Act 2022 (Repeal and Re-Enactment) Bill 2026 into law, marking a major update to Nigeria’s electoral framework.
The new legislation was recently passed by the National Assembly of Nigeria following months of deliberations, reviews, and amendments by both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
The signing formalizes the repeal of the previous Electoral Act 2022 and introduces revised provisions intended to guide future elections and electoral processes across the country.
Further details on the provisions of the new law are expected to be released.
