The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is Nigeria’s constitutional electoral management body established under Section 153 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The Commission is responsible for organising, undertaking, and supervising elections into the offices of the President, Governors, members of the National Assembly, State Houses of Assembly, and other electoral positions as provided by law.

Beyond conducting elections, INEC oversees voter registration, maintains the national register of voters, registers and regulates political parties in accordance with the law, monitors political campaigns and election financing, and promotes voter education to strengthen Nigeria’s democratic process. The Commission also leverages technology and innovation, including biometric voter accreditation and electronic transmission of election results where applicable, to improve the credibility, transparency, and efficiency of elections. With offices in all 36 states, the Federal Capital Territory, and every Local Government Area, INEC plays a vital role in safeguarding Nigeria’s democracy through free, fair, credible, and inclusive elections. As one of the country’s most important public institutions, the Commission offers career opportunities for professionals committed to integrity, public service, and nation-building across diverse fields such as law, engineering, information technology, finance, administration, health, logistics, and electoral operations.
