Ahead of the 2027 General Election, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has set November 28, 2026 for the conduct of mock accreditation and voting across all states of the federation.
The aim is to ensure that accreditation and electronic result transmission are right and voters can identify their polling units ahead of the general elections in January 2027.
INEC chairman, Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan stated this at Chatham House, London, during a high-level dialogue convened in partnership with the Kimpact Development Initiative (KDI) under the theme, “Nigeria’s 2027 Elections: Democratic Trajectory and Regional Stability Beyond the Ballot.”
On election financing, the Chairman confirmed that while INEC has received a substantial portion of its 2027 election budget, it is awaiting the release of the outstanding balance, part of which is earmarked for the recruitment and welfare of ad hoc personnel.
