INEC to introduce supplementary regulations on election declaration and review – Yakubu.
Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), announced that the commission is developing additional regulations and guidelines to clarify procedures for reviewing election declarations and returns ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Yakubu made this known during a consultative meeting with Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) in Abuja on Tuesday.
He explained that the move is in line with INEC’s authority to issue regulations and manuals to implement the Electoral Act’s provisions.
“As we approach bye-elections, off-cycle governorship elections, and ultimately the 2027 general elections, we are addressing varied interpretations of Section 65 of the Electoral Act 2022, which deals with election result reviews,” he said.
The supplementary regulations will build on the 2022 Regulations and Guidelines for the Conduct of Elections to provide clearer direction on the review of election results.
Yakubu added that once finalized—possibly within the week—the new guidelines will be published on INEC’s website and other platforms for public access.
He also urged Resident Electoral Commissioners to share their plans for improving voter access at polling units, including measures to reduce congestion.
This includes efforts such as updating the voters’ register, engaging more deeply with electoral stakeholders at state and local levels, managing election logistics, and ensuring election security.
Yakubu encouraged RECs to continually improve their knowledge and strengthen their performance, reminding them that their duties are ongoing and require proactive implementation of commission policies.
“Your work is continuous and you don’t need workshops or conferences to enhance staff capacity; you can build knowledge and apply innovations as you go,” he said.
