Nigeria’s National Assembly has amended the Electoral Act to reduce the statutory election notice period by 60 days, and President Bola Tinubu has signed the 2026 Electoral Act Amendment Bill into law. The change is framed around accommodating Ramadan timing and gives the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) greater flexibility to adjust the 2027 election timetable. This matters for political parties, candidates, and election administrators as it compresses pre-election timelines and could alter campaign and logistical planning for the next general elections.
