According to this article, a federal court in Nigeria has ordered the electoral commission in Nigeria to put in place, a mechanism which will allow for Nigerians living abroad to vote.
In his considered judgment, delivered on 18th December 2008, Justice Adamu Bello held that since Nigerians living abroad have convinced the court that they are entitled to vote and be voted for, it is the constitutional responsibility of INEC to put in place the "relevant machinery to assist the plaintiffs to vote from abroad."
