The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has filed a six-count charge against the suspended resident electoral commissioner in Adamawa state, Hudu Yunusa-Ari.
The charges were filed at the high court in Yola, the state capital.
In a statement on Thursday, INEC said the charges were filed after reviewing the case file from the police which established a prima facie case against Yunusa-Ari.
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) had arrested Yunusa-Ari over his conduct during the governorship election in Adamawa.
He was, however, granted administrative bail and asked to report to the headquarters of the NPF every weekday.
