President Bola Tinubu has assented to the Electoral Act, 2022 (Repeal and Re-Enactment) Bill, 2026, formally enacting it into law.
The move comes shortly after the Senate approved provisions allowing for the electronic transmission of election results, while retaining manual collation as a backup option.
The Senate’s decision had generated widespread debate, with many Nigerians voicing concerns and criticisms over aspects of the amendments.
Further details on the newly signed legislation and its implications for future elections are expected to be released.
