DISPLAY OF PRELIMINARY VOTERS REGISTER FOR CLAIMS AND OBJECTIONS

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Gombe State hereby informs the general public that it will commence the display of the Preliminary Voters Register for Claims and Objections as part of the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise.

The display will take place from Wednesday, April 29 to Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at designated INEC offices across the eleven (11) Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Gombe State.

This exercise provides an opportunity for citizens, particularly those who registered during the Second Phase of the CVR, which was conducted from 5th January to 17th April 2026, to verify their personal details on the register. The exercise will also enable members of the public to raise objections to the inclusion of names of persons who are not eligible to be registered as voters.

All eligible registrants are therefore encouraged to visit the INEC office in their respective LGAs within the stipulated period to: confirm the accuracy of their registration details and; report cases of ineligible persons on the register, where necessary.

INEC emphasizes that the display of the Preliminary Voters Register is a critical step in ensuring the credibility, transparency, and integrity of the electoral process. The Commission urges the public to take advantage of this opportunity to contribute to the production of a clean and reliable voters register.
