The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced plans to publish the preliminary register of voters for the 2027 general elections on its website to improve public access and transparency.
The commission said the decision followed concerns raised by Nigerians and other stakeholders over the need to make the register available online in addition to the physical display already conducted at Registration Areas.
In a statement issued on Monday, INEC said the preliminary register would be accessible through its online platform at https://display.inecnigeria.org.
The commission explained that the online publication was intended to complement the physical display and enable more Nigerians to scrutinise the register.
According to the statement signed by Mohammed Kudu Haruna, Chairman of INEC’s Information and Voter Education Committee, the commission is continuing to process claims and objections arising from the exercise in line with the Electoral Act, 2026.
INEC said the process would precede the certification and publication of the final register of voters, scheduled for December 15, 2026.
The commission expressed appreciation for the continued engagement of Nigerians and other stakeholders, reaffirming its commitment to transparency, accountability, and the implementation of the Electoral Act, 2026, in the conduct of credible elections.
