Section 121: Election may be postponed if disturbance feared.

(1) Where a date has been appointed for the holding of an election and there is reason to apprehend that a serious breach of the peace is likely to occur if the election is proceeded with on the date, the holding of the election may be postponed by the Independent National Electoral Commission until some other convenient date to be appointed by it.
(2) Where an election is postponed before the last day for the delivery of nomination papers, the Electoral Officer shall, upon a new date being appointed for the election, proceed in all respects as if that date were the date referred to in paragraph 1 of Schedule 5 to this Act as the date for the holding of the election.
(3) Where an election is postponed under this Act on or after the last day for the delivery of the nomination papers, and a poll has to be between the candidates then nominated, the Electoral Officer shall, upon a new date being appointed for the election, proceed as if the new date appointed were the date for taking of the poll between those candidates.
(4) An election postponed under this section may in like manner be further postponed.
