INEC Starts Moving Election Materials as 2027 Preparations Advance

INEC says it has begun moving non-sensitive election materials to some geopolitical zones ahead of the 2027 general elections. The commission has completed nine of the 14 activities on its electoral timetable, and most states have received the first and second batches of Permanent Voter Cards for distribution. Registered voters are being urged to collect their cards, while staff training and preparations to deploy BVAS continue. INEC National Commissioner Rhoda Gumus shared the update while receiving a delegation from Kenya’s electoral commission. She said the commission’s chairman had toured the six geopolitical zones to assess readiness and identify operational challenges. Gumus also said Nigeria’s electoral law must be amended before citizens living abroad can vote. The Kenyan delegation discussed election administration with INEC and shared how Kenya is gradually expanding voting access for its citizens overseas.
