The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC has stressed the need for proper archiving, cataloguing and documentation of operational and electoral records ahead of the 2027 general elections.
These, according to the commission, are critical measures for sustaining public trust and institutional credibility.
INEC’s Director of Voter Education, Victoria Eta-Messi, said this during a two-day capacity-building workshop for INEC staff members in the Graphics, Library, and Documentation division from across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
Eta- Messi futher cautions against the practice where historical electoral materials in state offices were stored improperly, leading to loss of critical institutional knowledge.
INEC emphasises that the Commission that documents its work builds trust that outlasts any single election.
