The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has warned Nigerians against a fraudulent website falsely claiming that a new nationwide voter registration exercise is ongoing from September 28 to October 27, 2026.
In a public notice on Saturday, INEC confirmed that this online platform, pvc-inecnigeria-org,blogspot.com, is entirely fake and has no connection to the commission.
The electoral body urged Nigerians not to click on the link or provide personal information on the website.
“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 to another polling unit, and replace damaged or lost permanent voter cards (PVC’s), adding that voter registration and PVC delivery are free .
INEC urged Nigerians to remain vigilant and verify electoral information through the commission’s official communication channels.
The warning comes as the the 2027 general elections approach and online registration claims continue to circulate.
