INEC Under Fire for Alleged AI-Generated Voter Photos
Critics say the online register includes duplicate profiles, identical NINs and deceased voters, raising fears about the credibility of Nigeria’s 2027 election process.
- After weeks of public requests, the Independent National Electoral Commission published the preliminary voters register, prompting Nigerians to raise concerns over alleged AI-generated images and duplicate entries in the data.
- Some users reported finding duplicate voter profiles with the same NIN, while others identified family members who died over eight years ago still listed on the website.
- For instance, in a polling unit of 2,000 voters, AI can record 10,000 voters using duplicate data; the electoral body allegedly flooded the register with AI-generated images.
- With irregularities undermining electoral credibility, Nigerians expressed fears that the concerns could compromise the process, with critics stating, "Our democracy is at stake here!"
- Morris Monye warned that these issues suggest how INEC intends to run the 2027 election, leading many to question if Nigeria can conduct a free and fair process.
