[Priority handling was requested] with ZZZ Center on an IFR flight plan. [This] was requested because of a total loss of electrical power in the cockpit. I maintained radio contact with center for a few minutes and advised them that I was deviating to ZZZ (the nearest airport) I gave them my personal information and canceled my flight plan once on the ground. There was no destruction of property or injuries to report.
