The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) instructed all Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) to suspend ongoing publicity and preparations for the proposed voter revalidation exercise pending further guidance.
This was disclosed in a statement by the commission’s secretary, Rose Oriaran-Anthony.
On Wednesday, INEC had revealed plans to commence a nationwide voter revalidation drive on April 13, 2026, as part of efforts to update the voter register ahead of the 2027 general election.
Meanwhile, the commission also rescheduled its planned meeting with Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs), announcing that the session will now be held virtually.
The commission disclosed that the meeting, earlier scheduled to take place physically on Thursday, April 9, 2026, at 11:00 a.m., will instead be conducted via Zoom.
RECs have been directed to remain in their respective states and await further communication, including login details for the virtual session once arrangements are finalised.
INEC expressed regret over any inconvenience caused by the change, assuring stakeholders of its continued commitment to effective coordination and communication.
