2027: INEC warns 36 states, FCT against election lapses
The new tracker will link state officials to INEC’s dashboard and Election Project Plan as voter registration nears 100 million, the commission said.
- On Monday, Independent National Electoral Commission Chairman Professor Joash Amupitan opened a two-day strategic workshop in Lagos, unveiling a real-time Excel-based operational tracker to monitor 2027 general election readiness across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
- Amupitan warned Administrative Secretaries against operational lapses, emphasizing a shift from reactive responses to proactive management ahead of the critical six-month preparation period for the 2027 polls.
- Applying lessons from the Osun governorship election, the Commission is implementing a "Zero-Failure" protocol while tracking nearly 100 million registered voters; officials are refining result management systems, including the eEC8A, to ensure verifiable vote journeys from polling units.
- Electoral officers must maintain absolute neutrality, Amupitan stressed, warning that partisan leaning or administrative negligence will face consequences as the Commission coordinates preparations across logistics, technology, and financial compliance.
- With the 2027 election about six months away, the Commission aims to establish excellence as a permanent culture rather than an occasional coincidence, as success depends on faithfully translating legal provisions into practice for Nigerians.
