INEC Begins Distribution of Non-Sensitive Materials for 2027 Polls
The Independent National Electoral Commission has commenced the distribution of non-sensitive election materials to some states ahead of the 2027 general elections.
INEC National Commissioner Prof. Rhoda Gumus disclosed this on Thursday, 12 November 2026, in Abuja during a meeting with a delegation from Kenya’s Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission.
Gumus said all non-sensitive materials were almost ready and that some had already been moved to certain zones.
“Right now, all non-sensitive materials are almost ready. In fact, today as we speak here, the non-sensitive materials have been lifted to some zones now,” she said.
She noted that the commission had completed nine of its planned activities and that a recent assessment tour of the six geopolitical zones showed preparations were on course.
Gumus also revealed that production of Permanent Voter Cards had been completed, with most states receiving the first and second batches while collection by registered voters was ongoing.
She urged voters to collect their PVCs, warning that those without the cards would face challenges on election day.
