Apparently aware of the public perception of every move made by the election management body, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has postponed the planned nationwide voter revalidation exercise with immediate effect.
This much was disclosed in Abuja today through a statement signed by Alhaji Mohammed Kudu Haruna, National Commissioner, Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee.
The statement read in part: “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.”
