Tinubu Signs Electoral Act Amendment Bill 2026 into Law
On Wednesday, President Bola Tinubu signed the Electoral Act Amendment Bill 2026 into law at a brief ceremony held at the first-floor office of the State House in Abuja at 5:00 PM. This significant legislative action follows the National Assembly's passage of the bill on Tuesday.
The amendment comes amid intense public debate regarding the electronic transmission of election results in real-time. Notably, the bill includes a contentious section 60(3) that was passed by the chambers of the National Assembly.
The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, disclosed this information to newsmen during the signing ceremony. Further details regarding the implications of the amendment will be provided later.
