Nigerian elections are held to choose leaders at various levels, including the President, governors, and members of the National Assembly. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) oversees the electoral process, ensuring it is free and fair. Elections typically occur every four years, with the most recent presidential election taking place in 2023. Political parties play a significant role in Nigerian elections, with major parties like the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the People's Democratic Party (PDP) often dominating the landscape. Voter participation is crucial, as citizens exercise their right to vote, influencing the country's governance and policies.
