The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced the postponement of the governorship and state house of assembly elections scheduled for March 11, 2023, by one week to March 18, 2023. According to credible sources, the postponement is due to the inability of the commission to commence the re-configuration of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) machines used for the February 25 presidential and National Assembly elections, to enable their use for the state elections.

The BVAS re-configuration, which would take three or four days, would involve moving the machines to the INEC headquarters in Abuja, re-configuring them, deploying them to the various states, and finally to the polling units. INEC management is currently holding a meeting to decide on the new election date, with March 18 or March 25 being the options under consideration. However, it was reported that March 18 has been chosen for the elections.
