Nigeria 2027 State Elections — Governors and State Houses of Assembly

February 6, 2027 is scheduled as the election day for governors and State Houses of Assembly in participating Nigerian states and constituencies. The vote is part of the official timetable published by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and follows the presidential and National Assembly elections. State-level offices have a direct role in local administration and in the composition of state legislative institutions. Coverage of the election can differ by state and constituency, so the official notices issued by INEC remain the best reference for the areas included, voting procedures and any subsequent updates.
