Furthermore, for the state constituencies, INEC will oversee elections in Chibok State Constituency, Borno State; Chikun State Constituency, Kaduna State; and Guma State Constituency, Benue State.

The federal constituencies include Surulere 1 in Lagos, Gauri/Shanta/Ingaski and Arewa/Dandi in Kebbi, Akoko North-East/North-West in Ondo, Jalingo/Yorro/Zing in Taraba, Ikono/Ini in Akwa Ibom, and Akamkpa/Biase in Cross River State.
