Abstract

This study investigated the implications of the new electoral act, 2022 on the democratic development of Nigeria. The study revealed lack of political participation, poor accountability in governance and inadequate electoral process as some of the major constraint to democratic development in Nigeria. Additionally, the study identified provision of electronic data base and electronic transmission of elections result as well as the restoration of political participation, accountability in governance and effective electoral process as the implication of the new electoral act, 2022 on the democratic development of Nigeria. Based on the findings, recommendations were made that INEC and other electoral stakeholders in the country should ensure that the new electoral act 2022 is religiously observed, implemented and defaulters are severely punished at all level of elections.
