The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced plans to introduce a real-time readiness tracker to monitor preparations for the 2027 general elections across Nigeria's 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The initiative, announced by INEC Chairman Prof. Joash Amupitan, aims to give the commission's leadership instant visibility into state-level preparations and help address operational challenges before they impact election conduct.
The tracker will be based on a standardized Excel-based template linked to INEC's Election Monitoring and Support Centre (EMSC) dashboard and Election Project Plan (EPP). The system will cover key aspects of election preparations, such as election material distribution, ad-hoc personnel training, and readiness levels across states.
INEC's leadership hopes this tool will move the commission from reactive to proactive election management, enabling them to identify and address potential issues before they become election-day crises.
