A bill seeking to amend the Constitution and the 2022 Electoral Act to allow Nigerians in the diaspora to vote has passed its second reading in the House of Representatives.
According to Channels TV, the proposed legislation, co-sponsored by Speaker Abbas Tajudeen and Sodeeq Abdullahi, aims to provide voting opportunities for Nigerians living abroad.
Initially passed for second reading in July, the bill was referred to the Committee on Electoral Matters for further review.
Following Tuesday’s deliberations, it has now been forwarded to the Constitution Amendment Committee for additional legislative processes.
