INEC: 7m Nigerians didn’t complete registration for PVC

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), revealed that over 7 million Nigerians who carried out their voter pre-registration online didn’t complete the process.

According to a report released by the commission, 10,487,972 Nigerians carried out their pre-registration online. But only 3,444,378 Nigerians representing 32.8 per cent, completed the process at a physical centre.

Meanwhile, the 7,043,594 persons accounted for over 67per cent of those who began their registration process online, but could not collect a voter card, which implied that they will not be able to vote in the 2023 general elections.

This is the current standing of the continuous voters registration (CVR) per Geo-political zone:

  • North-West – 22.67 million
  •  South-West – 18.3 million
  •  South-South – 15.2 million
  •  North-Central – 14.2 million
  • North-East – 12.8 million
  • South-East – 11.49 million
