The exercise was originally planned for January 16, 2027, before the commission decided to change the date.
Officials explained that the adjustment became necessary after the Independent National Electoral Commission moved the presidential and National Assembly elections to January 16, 2027.
The change created a clash with the earlier date fixed for the local polls in Oyo.
The commission said the new schedule will allow better coordination of security, logistics and voter participation.
Campaigns by political parties will end on December 28, 2026, while any rerun election, if required, will hold on January 5, 2027.
