Electoral Reforms: President Tinubu Signs Controversial Act Into Law

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has signed the 2026 Electoral Act into law, introducing major changes just months before the 2027 general elections. The new legislation reduces the election notice period from 360 to 300 days and retains manual transmission of results in the event that electronic systems fail under Clause 60. Supporters describe the move as a practical safeguard in light of infrastructure gaps, while critics argue that allowing manual collation could weaken transparency and reopen pathways to electoral disputes, particularly in rural areas. With strong reactions from activists, civil society and political stakeholders, what does this law truly mean for Nigeria’s democratic process? We examine the legal, political and practical implications.
