INEC: 103 Million Nigerians Will Vote In 2027 Polls
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says more than 103 million Nigerians are now on the national register of voters ahead of the 2027 elections.
Joash Amupitan, INEC chairman, spoke on Monday at a strategic workshop for media executives in Abuja.
The workshop, themed ‘Strengthening democracy through partnership among editors, civil society and electoral institutions’, was organised by INEC in collaboration with Development Alternatives Incorporated (DAI) and the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE).
The INEC chairman said the commission would commence nationwide collection of permanent voter cards (PVCs) on October 9.
INEC has also warned politicians that their ambitions are not worth the blood of Nigerians, vowing arrests, sanctions and prosecution against parties, candidates and agents who resort to violence, hate speech and vote-buying ahead of the 2027 General Election.
