Check the location and any directions shown, bearing in mind that INEC describes those directions as approximate. What if you cannot find your details? Check your information using INEC’s official voter services and follow the instructions available there.
If you still cannot confirm your polling unit, seek guidance through INEC’s official channels before election day.

Go to the polling unit where you are registered and take your physical Permanent Voter Card (PVC). INEC’s current voter guidance says voters must be physically present and verified through BVAS before voting.
The election calendar currently lists accreditation and voting from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Voters are advised to check INEC’s announcements for any updates.
