The Independent National Electoral Commission has warned Nigerians against a fraudulent website claiming to offer a fresh online voter registration exercise. INEC issued the warning on Saturday as preparations continue ahead of the 2027 general elections. The electoral body said a fake website had been circulating claims that a new nationwide online voter registration exercise was running from September 28 to October 27, 2026. INEC said the platform was not affiliated with the commission and urged Nigerians not to click on the link or submit personal information through it. The commission warned that entering personal information on the fraudulent platform could expose users to data theft or misuse. INEC also clarified that the nationwide Continuous Voter Registration exercise ended on July 26, 2026. The warning comes at a time when public interest in election-related information is increasing ahead of the 2027 general elections. INEC advised citizens to obtain electoral information only through its authorised communication channels and official platforms. The commission’s warning is particularly important for Nigerians seeking to register, update their details or confirm information ahead of the elections. Citizens who encounter suspicious registration links have been urged to verify them before providing personal information.
