The House of Representatives is Considering a Second Reading of the Diaspora Voting Scales Reading.

A legislative proposal aimed at amending the constitution to facilitate voting for the diaspora has successfully passed its second reading in the House of Representatives on Wednesday. This bill, co-sponsored by Speaker Abbas Tajudeen and Sodeeq Abdullahi, intends to modify the 2022 Electoral Act to enable Nigerians living abroad to participate in elections. Initially passed for a second reading in July, the bill was subsequently assigned to the Committee on Electoral Matters for additional legislative consideration. Following its successful second reading on Tuesday, the bill has now been directed to the constitution amendment committee for further legislative proceedings.
