Nigeria: INEC misses statutory deadline to publish voter register for 2027 elections

Nigeria's electoral commission (INEC) has failed to publish the voter register within the legally mandated 90-day window before the January 2027 general elections, violating the Electoral Act. The deadline for announcing the display period passed on 18 October, and INEC has not acted, raising concerns about electoral preparedness and potential legal challenges. This is a domestic political development with implications for election credibility, but no direct market impact.
