Data security fears: INEC assures 2023 election results safe

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has assured that the 2023 election results are safe on Amazon Web Services. This assurance comes amid concerns over an expired domain previously used for its portal, according to Punch.

INEC also reported that 9,324,349 young Nigerians were newly registered during the 2026 Continuous Voter Registration exercises. The INEC Chairman, Prof Joash Amupitan, stated that this figure highlights the importance of young Nigerians' participation in the electoral process.

INEC has appointed nine Youth Ambassadors to deepen youth participation ahead of the 2027 general election. The ambassadors' appointment aims to strengthen the commission's engagement with young Nigerians and expand their participation in the electoral process.
