The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has removed 1,608,660 invalid registrants from the national voter register as part of its ongoing efforts to sanitise the electoral database.
The commission disclosed that the exercise followed claims, objections and complaints received after the preliminary voter register was displayed for public scrutiny in October.
INEC also confirmed the removal of 876 names belonging to registered voters who were verified to have died.
According to the commission, the clean-up exercise is aimed at ensuring the accuracy and credibility of the voter register ahead of future elections.
INEC added that the final cleaned-up voter register would be published on December 16, 2026, in compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act.
