Diaspora voting - where things stand
The Electoral Act 2022 did not extend the franchise to Nigerians abroad. Roughly 17 million Nigerians live outside the country, sending home over $20 billion in remittances every year - yet none of them can vote in federal elections. The Obi 2027 platform supports a constitutional amendment to grant diaspora voting rights, with INEC operating polling at consulates and embassies.
Until that changes, diaspora supporters in Norway have an outsized role: phone-bank family members back home, fund polling-unit agents through this site, and pressure home-state representatives to support the diaspora-vote bill currently before the National Assembly.
