The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has postponed the proposed nationwide voter revalidation exercise.
The postponement follows a meeting with the Resident Electoral Commissioners, RECs, on Friday, April 10.
Following deliberations, the electoral body resolved to postpone the exercise until after the 2027 general election. 
A statement signed by INEC’s National Commissioner, Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Mohammed Kudu Haruna, observes that the voter revalidation exercise is a critical component of the Commission’s mandate to maintain a credible and up-to-date National Register of Voters.
“It is designed to verify and review existing voter records, ensure the accuracy of personal data, eliminate duplicate and ineligible entries, and strengthen the overall integrity of the voter register.
“The exercise also aims to provide an opportunity for registered voters to confirm their details and make necessary corrections where required.
“INEC remains committed to the conduct of free, fair, credible, and inclusive elections,” the statement read.
