The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has uploaded the preliminary voter register to its online platform following calls for broader public access ahead of the 2027 general election.
In a statement on Monday, Mohammed Haruna, chairman of
INEC’s information and voter education committee, said the preliminary register
of voters displayed between October 9 and 15 will be updated.
“In accordance with section 19 of the Electoral Act, 2026,
the commission conducted the physical display of the register at registration
areas nationwide from 9th to 15th October, 2026, providing registered voters
the opportunity to inspect their particulars and submit claims and objections
as prescribed by law,” he said.
Haruna added that the online publication followed the
physical display of the preliminary register at registration areas nationwide,
in line with Section 19 of the Electoral Act 2026.
The chairman of the information and voter education
committee said the online publication would complement the physical exercise
and provide wider access to the register.
“Accordingly, and in furtherance of its commitment to
transparency, accessibility and public confidence in the electoral process, the
commission has decided to make available on its online platform
https://display.inecnigeria.org the same preliminary register of voters earlier
displayed at the registration areas, ” Haruna said.
“This additional measure complements the physical display
already undertaken and is intended to facilitate wider public access to the
register.
“Meanwhile, the commission continues to process claims and
objections arising from the exercise in accordance with the Electoral Act,
2026, preparatory to the certification and publication of the final register of
voters on 15th December 2026.”
He reiterated the commission’s commitment to transparency,
accountability and implementation of the Electoral Act 2026.
