Anambra guber: Offences that can get you arrested during elections in Nigeria

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has continually warned against vote-buying, ballot box snatching, underage voting and other electoral malpractices.

INEC organises elections for various political offices in the country.

The Electoral Act 2022 clearly outlines the rules and regulations guiding the electoral process. However, many Nigerians are unaware of the provisions in the act that could lead to their arrest.

As the Anambra governorship election scheduled for November 8 draws closer, this article highlights the key activities that could lead to arrest during the forthcoming poll.

PROFILE: Joash Amupitan, the professor of law set to lead INEC to next chapter

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has entered a new phase with the appointment of Joash Ojo Amupitan, senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), as its chairman.

His emergence follows the end of Mahmood Yakubu’s tenure, a period that oversaw some of Nigeria’s most contested and transformative elections.

The commission is central to sustaining democracy, from supervising the voter register to ensuring credible polls.

With his appointment, Amupitan is expected to strengthen the commission’s credibility, reinforce transparency, and chart a course for electoral reforms.
