INEC in Plateau State Receives Materials for 2027 Elections

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Plateau State has announced the receipt of virtually all non-sensitive materials required for the 2027 general elections. Professor Samuel Egwu, the Resident Electoral Commissioner, made this disclosure on Friday during a briefing at the commission's headquarters in Jos.

He stated that the materials are being sorted and batched for distribution to the 17 local government areas in the state. Egwu highlighted the critical role of Electoral Officers, describing them as the pillars of the electoral process at the local government level.

He also mentioned that various training programs for electoral personnel, including those who were not trained during the 2023 general elections, have commenced. Additionally, he urged eligible voters to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), noting that there are about 95,000 uncollected cards from before the 2023 elections and that cards from the Continuous Voter Registration exercise are now available for collection.
