The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced the removal of 1,608,660 invalid registrants from the voter register. This action forms part of an ongoing clean-up initiative following various claims, objections, and complaints regarding the preliminary voter register displayed by the commission in October.
Additionally, the clean-up has resulted in the removal of 876 voters who have been verified as deceased. This effort underscores INEC’s commitment to maintaining an accurate and reliable voter register.
INEC indicated that the updated voter register will be published on December 16, 2026, in accordance with electoral law requirements.
