Voter Guide
What happens at the polling unit, from accreditation to casting your ballot.
You must be a Nigerian aged 18 or over, registered, hold a PVC and appear in person at your polling unit.
Polling units open at 8:30 AM and close at 2:30 PM. Everyone in the queue by 2:30 PM may vote.
Officials use BVAS to verify your PVC and your fingerprint or face, then tick your name in the register.
Take your ballot paper, mark it in the voting cubicle and drop it in the ballot box.
Ink your thumb, then leave or stay at a distance of 300 metres to watch the count.
BVAS is used to upload polling unit results to INEC's public IReV portal.
