The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has disclosed that arrangements have been concluded for the conduct of Saturday’s bye-elections in 16 constituencies across 12 states.
The commission also outlined plans for the resumption of nationwide Continuous Voter Registration, CVR, and the publication of candidates’ particulars for the 2026 Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Area Council election.
This was part of deliberations at the Commission’s weekly meeting on Thursday, as shared by the National Commissioner and Chairman of Information and Voter Education Committee, Sam Olumekun.
He confirmed that the bye-elections, caused by the resignation or death of serving lawmakers, will take place in two senatorial districts in Anambra and Edo States; five federal constituencies in Edo, Jigawa, Kaduna, Ogun, and Oyo States; and nine state constituencies spread across Adamawa, Anambra, Kaduna (2), Kano, Kogi, Niger, Taraba, and Zamfara States.
He said that court-ordered rerun elections in Enugu South 1 State Constituency of Anambra State and Ghari/Tsanyawa State Constituency of Kano State will also hold on the same day.
Furthermore, Olumekun disclosed that all non-sensitive materials had been delivered to the states, the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) had been configured, and ad hoc staff recruitment and training, as well as logistics and security arrangements, were complete.
He said that the final batch of sensitive election materials would be delivered later on Thursday.
He reminded political parties and candidates that campaigns must end by midnight on Thursday, warning all stakeholders, including voters, party agents, observers, and the media, to comply strictly with electoral laws, guidelines, and regulations to ensure smooth polls.
