The decision was disclosed in a statement issued on Friday by the National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, Mohammed Kudu Haruna, following a meeting between the Commission and Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs).
According to the statement, the decision was reached after extensive deliberations on the proposed exercise.
“Following deliberations, the Commission resolved to postpone the exercise until after the 2027 General Election,” Haruna stated.
INEC explained that the voter revalidation exercise is a critical component of its mandate aimed at maintaining a credible and up-to-date National Register of Voters.
The exercise is designed to verify and update existing voter records, ensure the accuracy of personal data, eliminate duplicate and ineligible entries, and strengthen the overall integrity of the voter register. It also provides an opportunity for registered voters to confirm their details and make necessary corrections where required.
Despite the postponement, the Commission reaffirmed its commitment to delivering free, fair, credible, and inclusive elections.
The development signals a shift in INEC’s electoral timeline as preparations continue ahead of the 2027 general elections.
