\nThe Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has made the Preliminary Register of Voters for the 2027 general election available online following concerns by Nigerians and other stakeholders over the need for wider access to the register.
\nThe Commission, in a press statement issued on Monday, October 26, said the online publication was an additional measure to complement the physical display of the register conducted nationwide from October 9 to 15, 2026.<\/p>\n
The statement, signed by Mohammed Kudu Haruna, Chairman of INEC\u2019s Information and Voter Education Committee, said the decision was taken in response to concerns about making the register accessible through the Commission\u2019s online platform.
\nAccording to INEC, the preliminary register can now be accessed at https:\/\/display.inecnigeria.org, where members of the public can review the same register earlier displayed at designated Registration Areas.<\/p>\n
The Commission explained that the physical display was conducted in accordance with Section 19 of the Electoral Act, 2026, to enable registered voters to verify their personal particulars and submit claims and objections as provided by law.
\nIt said the online publication was intended to expand public access to the register and strengthen transparency and confidence in the electoral process.<\/p>\n
INEC, however, noted that it was still processing claims and objections arising from the physical display exercise in preparation for the certification and publication of the Final Register of Voters.
\nThe Commission fixed December 15, 2026, for the publication of the final register ahead of the 2027 general election.
\nIt appreciated the continued interest and constructive engagement of Nigerians and other stakeholders, reiterating its commitment to transparency, accountability and the implementation of the Electoral Act, 2026, towards delivering credible elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
