INEC Refutes Claims of New Voter Registration for 2027
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has officially denied claims regarding the resumption of a fresh voter registration exercise ahead of the 2027 elections. This statement follows reports that a new date for Nationwide Online Voter Registration had been set from 28 September 2026 to 27 October 2026.
INEC clarified that this information is fake and has no connection to the Commission. In a statement released on Saturday, INEC warned the public about a fraudulent website that falsely claimed to represent the Commission.
The Commission emphasized that the voter registration exercise had closed on 26 July 2026, and any information suggesting otherwise is incorrect. INEC urged the public to remain vigilant and verify electoral information through its official communication channels, advising against clicking on the fraudulent website or submitting personal information that could be misused.
