The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has completed its voter register cleansing process ahead of the 2027 general election, according to Chairman Prof. Joash Amupitan. The exercise followed complaints about duplicate registrations, manipulated photos, odd names, and the presence of deceased persons on the register.
INEC waited until the statutory 14-day period after displaying the preliminary register to review complaints and make corrections. INEC processed 11.1 million registration records generated from three phases of voter registration, flagging 1.5 million for review. Of these, 1.3 million were deemed invalid and removed, with 50,000 considered valid.
The commission also addressed historical voter registration records dating back to 2011, which posed a major concern for many complaints. The final voter register is set to be published on December 15, 2026.
