INEC Extends 2027 Governorship, Assembly Candidates Submission Deadline
INEC has extended the deadline for political parties to upload candidates for the 2027 governorship and state House of Assembly elections. The deadline, initially set for August 8, 2026, will now close on August 11, 2026. The commission said it granted the extension after parties requested more time to complete uploads on its dedicated portal. INEC also said voters in Osun State who applied to replace lost, damaged or defaced PVCs have until midnight on August 9, 2026, to print downloadable copies. The data will help the commission finalise PVC collection figures ahead of the August 15 Osun governorship election.
