The Independent National Electoral Commission says no fewer than 1,565,873 Nigerians have successfully completed their voter registration as of June 26.
The figure was recorded at the end of the seventh week of Phase III of the commission’s continuous voter registration exercise.
According to statistics released by INEC on Tuesday in Abuja, the figure comprises “620,933 citizens who completed their online pre-registration and 944,940 who registered physically.”
The commission, however, said the statistics remain preliminary, pending a comprehensive data clean-up during the scheduled period for public claims and objections, after which the Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS) will be deployed.
