The Federal Capital Territory's area council elections on February 21, 2026, recorded low voter turnout and late polling station openings, according to Yiaga Africa. Allegations of voter intimidation arose due to the presence of Minister Nyesom Wike at polling units, while security measures blocked entry points to Abuja. Former senator Shehu Sani noted widespread apathy among residents.

Authorities in Dindigul district have formed 230 teams to transport Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and other poll materials to 2,301 polling stations across seven Assembly constituencies. Dindigul Collector S. Saravanan inspected the installation of GPS devices on the vehicles. The vehicles will carry EVMs from strong rooms to the polling stations on April 22.
