2027: INEC removes 1.6m names from voter register
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has removed 1,608,660 invalid registrants from Nigeria’s voter register as part of efforts to clean up its database ahead of the 2027 general elections.
INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Amupitan, SAN, disclosed this on Monday.
The commission also confirmed the removal of more than 876 deceased voters from the register.
The exercise followed complaints and objections submitted by members of the public after INEC displayed the preliminary voter register in October 2026.
The commission said it would publish the revised voter register on December 16, 2026, in compliance with the provisions of the electoral law.
