INEC publishes 2027 preliminary voter register online at display.inecnigeria.org
INEC has moved the preliminary register of voters for the 2027 general elections online at https://display.inecnigeria.org, complementing the physical display already conducted at Registration Areas nationwide. The announcement came Monday in a statement signed by Mohammed Kudu Haruna, Chairman of INEC's Information and Voter Education Committee.
The online portal gives Nigerians another avenue to verify their details as the commission processes claims and objections from the preliminary register exercise per the Electoral Act 2026. Final register certification and publication is scheduled for December 15, 2026.
This transparency push follows September's NIN integration with NIMC to audit and clean the voter database. On October 5, INEC confirmed the national register surpassed 103 million voters after three-phase Continuous Voter Registration and biometric cleanup—adding 10.7 million new registrations. Lagos leads with 7.49 million voters, followed by Kano (6.57 million) and Kaduna (4.66 million).
Critically, INEC warned on October 3 that the nationwide CVR exercise ended July 26, 2026. Any portal claiming ongoing registration is fraudulent. Use only authorised INEC platforms for electoral information.
