Security, corruption and electricity are the main issues that have dominated the campaigns
Politicians in Nigeria
The rights group says at least 20 people have died in political attacks and clashes over the last two weeks.
Nigerians will be voting over three weekends - first in legislative, then presidential and lastly in state polls.
It is the third time general elections are being held in Nigeria
The previous ones - in 2003 and 2007 - were marred by allegations of widespread rigging, voter intimidation and ballot vote snatching.
Security forces were also accused of siding with the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP), which has dominated politics since the return to civilian rule.
