About the resource
Understanding SIECs across the federation
State Independent Electoral Commissions (SIECs) are established under the Nigerian Constitution to organise, undertake and supervise elections into local government councils within their respective states.
Their institutional structures and operations form an important part of Nigeria's electoral landscape. Understanding these commissions provides useful context for discussions on electoral administration and democratic governance at the grassroots level.
The infographics below provide a visual overview of SIECs across the country, including information about their locations, leadership and other institutional details as presented in the original resource.
