Voters’ register hits 103m ahead of polls – INEC








原文原文 / Original Text

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said the number of registered voters in Nigeria has risen to more than 103 million ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, disclosed this on Monday 5 October, in Abuja at a strategic workshop with media executives organised by the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) in collaboration with the commission.

The workshop was themed, “Strengthening Democracy Through Partnership Among Editors, Civil Society and Electoral Institutions.”

Amupitan said the three-phase Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise attracted 10,772,421 new registrants, comprising 2,611,266 in the first phase, 4,121,835 in the second and 3,867,997 in the third phase.

He, however, said the figures remained subject to final verification following the Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS) exercise.

“Following the conclusion of our three-phase Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise, which captured over 10.6 million new applicants, our Voter Register Department has completed the final Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS) cleanup. Nigeria’s National Register of Voters is now over 103 million,” he said.

The INEC chairman said the commission had completed eight of the 14 major statutory activities contained in its timetable for the 2027 elections, describing the preparations as having entered the “amber zone” as the election countdown intensifies.

He said the preliminary display of the voters’ register for claims and objections would take place from October 9 to 15, 2026.
