Eight critical timelines for 2023 general elections

15

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Saturday adjusted the dates to conduct the 2023 general elections.

INEC, thereafter, announced new dates for the polls, just a day after President Muhammadu Buhari signed the Electoral Act Amendment Bill into law.

It is the fourth time the Electoral Act was repealed and re-enacted since the return of democracy in Nigeria in May 1999.

The 1998-1999 elections were administered by transitional decrees until the emergence of the 2001 Electoral Act, which was repealed and re-enacted as the Electoral Act 2002.

The Electoral Act 2002 was in turn repealed and re-enacted in 2006, 2010, and now the Electoral Act 2022.

Here are eight critical timelines for the forthcoming general elections, as announced by INEC:

Publication of Notice of Election: Monday February 28, 2022.

Conduct of party primaries including the resolution of disputes arising from them: Monday, April 4, 2022 to Friday June 3, 2022.

Submission of nomination forms to INEC via the online portal for Presidential and National Assembly election: 9.00am on Friday, June 10, 2022 to 6.00pm on Friday, June 17, 2022.

Submission of nomination forms to INEC via the online nomination portal for Governorship and State Assembly elections: 9.00am on Friday, July 1, 2022 to 6.00pm on Friday, July 15, 2022.
