The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has expunged 1,608,660 invalid entries from the national voter register as part of efforts to sanitise the electoral database.
The commission said the exercise followed the review of claims, objections and complaints submitted by members of the public after the preliminary register was displayed in October.
INEC also disclosed that 876 registered voters confirmed to have died had been removed from the database during the verification process.
The commission said the updated voter register would be published on December 16, 2026, in compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act.
More details are expected to follow.
