The Independent National Electoral Commission in Plateau State says it has received virtually all non sensitive materials required for the 2027 general elections. It has commenced sorting and batching them for distribution to the 17 local government areas of the state.

The Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, Professor Samuel Egwu, disclosed this on Friday. He spoke while briefing journalists at the commission’s headquarters in Jos on its preparations for the 2027 general elections.

He said virtually all the non sensitive materials required for the 2027 elections have been brought to Plateau State. He said what the commission has done, as soon as it receives them, is to batch them local government by local government so that they can move without difficulty.

Egwu said the commission had also received PVCs arising from the first phase of the Continuous Voter Registration exercise. He said the first phase commenced in August 2025 and ended in December 2025.

He said the good news is that the cards from the second phase of the Continuous Voter Registration are now with the commission. He said the second phase took place from January to April 2026. He said all these categories of cards have been taken to the local government areas. He said Electoral Officers are issuing them from their respective offices.

He said what is outstanding for INEC to make available are the cards from the third phase of the Continuous Voter Registration. He said the third phase ended in July. He said the commission is very hopeful that between now and the end of the month, those cards will be available.

Egwu added that the arrangement will commence on December 1, subject to any further directive from the commission.
