The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has made the preliminary register of voters for the 2027 general elections available online after Nigerians and political stakeholders raised concerns about its accessibility.
The commission confirmed on Monday that the register, previously displayed at registration areas across the country between October 9 and 15, could now be accessed through its dedicated portal.
The decision followed demands for wider access to the document, including a call by former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, the African Democratic Congress presidential candidate, for INEC to publish the register online.
INEC said the additional measure was designed to promote transparency and strengthen public confidence in the electoral process.
Mohammed Kudu Haruna, Chairman of the commission’s Information and Voter Education Committee, said the online platform would provide access to the same preliminary register displayed at registration areas.
Voters can access the document through https://display.inecnigeria.org to inspect their particulars.
According to the commission, the physical display was conducted under Section 19 of the Electoral Act, 2026, to give registered voters the opportunity to check their details and submit claims or objections.
INEC said it was continuing to process submissions arising from the exercise before certifying and publishing the final register.
The commission fixed December 15, 2026, for the publication of the final register of voters ahead of the 2027 general elections.
It also thanked Nigerians and other stakeholders for their engagement, reiterating its commitment to accountability and compliance with the Electoral Act.
The online publication provides another means for voters to scrutinise the preliminary register as the commission continues preparations for the next general elections.
