INEC Suspends Voter Revalidation Amid Rising Concerns

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has directed all Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) to step down all publicity and arrangements for the planned voter revalidation exercise.

The directive came amid concerns by stakeholders, including political scientists and the opposition, over the exercise.

A letter addressed to RECs,  dated April 4, 2026, signed by its Secretary, Rose Oriaran-Anthony, asked them to await further directives from the commission.

The notice said the meeting of the commission  with RECs, scheduled for April 9 at 11am will now hold via zoom.

The INEC had announced a nationwide revalidation exercise aimed at sanitising the voter register by removing ineligible entries and strengthening the credibility of future elections.
