2027 polls: Voter register nears 100m — INEC

Nigeria's Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) reported that the national voter register has reached nearly 100 million people ahead of the 2027 general elections. During the latest Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise, which ran from August 2025 to July 2026, INEC recorded 10,772,421 new registrants. INEC Chairman Prof. Joash Amupitan announced plans to implement a real-time election readiness tracker to monitor preparations across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. This system aims to improve transparency and efficiency by providing instant visibility into the preparedness levels of each state, covering aspects such as distribution of election materials, training of ad hoc personnel, and overall state readiness. The initiative marks a shift from INEC's previous reactive approach to a more proactive management strategy.
