It noted that the Electoral Act mandates INEC to publish a Notice of Election no later than 360 days before the date fixed for a general election.
The Commission assured Nigerians that the official timetable for the 2027 elections would be released at the appropriate time and communicated through its verified and official channels.
INEC said it operates strictly in line with the law, stressing that it has not issued any timetable or schedule of activities for the 2027 general elections.

The Commission also called on the media and the public to ignore the misleading reports and rely only on information from INEC’s official platforms for accurate and authoritative updates.
