JUST IN: Nigeria’s House of Representatives is pushing for Same-Day Elections in 2027

In an exciting step towards electoral reform, the House of Representatives has put forward a proposal for all five major elections in 2027 — including the Presidential, National Assembly, Governorship, State Assembly, and FCT Council elections — to be held on the same day, managed by INEC.

This initiative is part of the proposed Electoral Act 2025 currently under review, which aims to simplify logistics, save costs, engage more voters, and reduce post-election violence.

If this proposal gets the green light, it would represent a significant change in Nigeria’s election schedule and strategy, bringing both advantages and logistical hurdles for INEC, political parties, and security agencies.
