Nigerians have been warned to take notice of a fake voters’ registration website ahead of the 2027 elections.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) raised the alarm Saturday saying that the website, pvc-inecnigeria-org.blogspot.com, was fake adding that it was not true voters’ registration will commence from September 28 to October 27, 2026.
“Members of the public are strongly advised not to click on the link or submit any personal information on the website, as doing so may expose them to the risk of having their sensitive personal data harvested or misused,” the notice posted on X reads.
“The Commission further wishes to clarify that the voter registration exercise closed on 26th July 2026. Any information suggesting that a new nationwide online voter registration exercise is currently ongoing through the above-mentioned website is false.
“INEC urges the public to remain vigilant and to verify all electoral information through the Commission’s official communication channels.”
The website claims to offer a “Final Phase of Nationwide Online Voter Card Registration”, including services to update voter registration details, transfer registration to another polling unit, and replace damaged or lost permanent voter cards (PVCs), adding that voter registration and PVC delivery are free.
