**Clarification on Polling Units Splitting in Nigeria** In a recent statement, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has set the record straight on the splitting of polling units in Nigeria. It appears that the issue of voters being moved to new polling units has been causing confusion among Nigerians. Let's dive into the details. **Background** In 2022, INEC embarked on an ambitious project to increase voter access to polling units. The commission created over 56,000 additional polling units nationwide, taking the total number from 119,972 to over 176,000. This move was aimed at decongesting crowded polling units and improving the overall voting experience. As part of this initiative, about 6.7 million voters were redistributed from congested polling units to less congested ones. **The Splitting of Polling Units** The splitting of polling units refers to the creation of additional voting points and BVAS devices in large polling units with more than 1,250 registered voters. This move was designed to ease voter accreditation, reduce overcrowding, and improve orderliness during elections. Importantly, these split units are located just a few metres away from the original polling units and remain within the same premises. **No Voter Migrated in 2026** Contrary to claims that voters were migrated to new polling units shortly before the FCT Area Council elections in 2026, INEC has clarified that no new voter migration was carried out. The split polling units referenced in recent discussions were created in February 2022, as part of the commission's Expansion of Voters' Access to Polling Units initiative. **Online Polling Unit Locator** To assist voters, INEC has provided an online Polling Unit Locator available at https://cvr.inecnigeria.org/pu. This tool enables voters to confirm their polling unit by selecting their State, Local Government Area, Registration Area (Ward), and Polling Unit. **Conclusion** In conclusion, the splitting of polling units in Nigeria was a deliberate effort by INEC to improve voter access and the overall voting experience. The clarification by INEC has put to rest any concerns that voters were migrated to new polling units in 2026. Nigerians can now use the online Polling Unit Locator to confirm their polling unit and make informed decisions about their voting experience.
