INEC has launched an investigation into alleged misuse and unauthorized access linked to its Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) database, according to Vanguard Newspapers.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has opened a probe into alleged misuse of access to its Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) database, raising fresh concerns about data security within Nigeria’s electoral system.
According to Vanguard Newspapers, the commission is investigating claims that sensitive voter registration information may have been improperly accessed or handled. While details remain limited, INEC is reportedly reviewing internal controls and access logs to identify possible breaches and ensure compliance with data protection standards. The development comes amid growing scrutiny of electoral data management ahead of future elections.
INEC has previously emphasized its commitment to safeguarding the integrity of the voters’ register and ensuring that only authorized personnel can access sensitive electoral information. The outcome of the probe is expected to determine if any disciplinary or legal actions will follow.
