Media organisations apply here to cover Nigerian elections. Register your organisation, apply for an election, and nominate the journalists you want accredited.
Register your organisation and complete its profile once. Then, for each election, your application moves through these steps. You can always see where it stands and what to do next.
While the election's application window is open, choose your coverage states, add a contact person, and upload your application letter and a recent publication.
A State or HQ admin reviews your application and recommends it for capping.
INEC decides the most field and collation staff you can send. An application can also be flagged for a second look or rejected.
Nominate journalists from your staff list within your caps, and choose each person's deployment state.
Each nominated person is approved or rejected. You can see the result and any remark for each one.
Approved journalists get an official accreditation tag with a QR code that officials can check.
Accreditation is granted per election.
