INEC removes 1.6 million voter registrations
The commission disclosed this on Monday, explaining that the massive clean-up followed complaints, claims and objections raised after the preliminary voter register was displayed for public scrutiny in October.
INEC also confirmed the removal of 876 records belonging to voters who had been verified as deceased.
The exercise follows widespread concerns about irregularities in the preliminary register, including questionable registration details and suspected artificially generated photographs.
INEC had earlier assured Nigerians that identified irregularities would be investigated and corrected before the final register was certified.
The commission said the cleaned-up voter register would be published on December 16, 2026, in accordance with the electoral law.
