Lawmakers at Nigeria’s National Assembly are actively deliberating proposed amendments to the country’s Electoral Act as preparations gather pace for the 2027 general elections.

The discussions are centred on key issues, including election timelines, the electronic transmission of results, and the harmonisation of conflicting provisions within the existing law.

These legislative engagements are seen as part of broader efforts to refine the electoral framework and address concerns raised in previous polls.

With the 2027 elections on the horizon, the outcome of the debates is expected to shape the legal and operational landscape for the next general vote.
