PRESS STATEMENT

POSTPONEMENT OF NATIONWIDE VOTER REVALIDATION EXERCISE

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) held a meeting with the Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) today, Friday, 10th April 2026, during which, among other issues, the proposed nationwide voter revalidation exercise was considered.

Following deliberations, the Commission resolved to postpone the exercise until after the 2027 General Election.

The voter revalidation exercise is a critical component of the Commission’s mandate to maintain a credible and up-to-date National Register of Voters. It is designed to verify and review existing voter records, ensure the accuracy of personal data, eliminate duplicate and ineligible entries, and strengthen the overall integrity of the voter register. The exercise also aims to provide an opportunity for registered voters to confirm their details and make necessary corrections where required.

INEC remains committed to the conduct of free, fair, credible, and inclusive elections.

What’s their next plan
God help us

First of several defeats of INEC by WE THE PEOPLE! Eventually, they will all fold.

A welcome development o

Tinubu is just too desperate for power

They don't think things through before making plans

Tinubu desperation is second to none

Keep making mouth online. Nigerians are waiting for you and your cohorts at the polls.

The way ADC and all the candidates they endorsed were disgraced in all the by-elections ought to have given you a clue.

What a welcome development.

This is unacceptable, considering the fact that millions in the register are either dead or have left the country.
This is criminal of them.
The register must be updated.
Say no to rigging.
If INEC can't update the voter register, then political parties should not do so 🙄 🤔.
What a shameless, pocketed manipulative,dependent-independent agency.
They have 4 years to prepare for this election and waited until it's few months to the elections and then they remember that the voter register is supposed to be revalidated?
After billions of naira approved or allocated for the process!
What happened to the monies allocated for the process?
It's high time we begin to ask sensible and truthful questions because the issue involves national security and trust.

These people are clowns. Is this not an avenue to rig?

Their first plan has failed waiting for the next one

dibunotion:
A welcome development o

how is it a welcome development please

I don't think that these INEC are serious people.
An exercise to allow people make corrections on their voters cards. Mistake caused by INEC. They are ones inputting the data, they input a woman's sex as male, they input a 53 year old man's age as 35. And have now suspended the exercise to correct them. 2027 election is about a year away.
And what of those that have changed location. And those INEC changed their polling units or those on their own that want to change their poling unit.
Something that is said to be continuous. So best time to make it is now so it will used for 2027 elections. And you are saying after the elections, so the flaws should continue till 2027 after elections. And if done afterwards will now be used for 2031 elections.
INEC had since after 2023 elections to conduct this continuous voter exercise but refused to do so.
What about those that have turned 18 after 2023, are the allowed to register and get voters card?

Revalidation for what is Permanent Voter's Card....What are you revalidating again?
