    CVR: INEC pre-registered 4.445m in four weeks

    The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said 4.445 million Nigerians have registered online in the past four weeks of the ongoing continuous voter registration (CVR).

    The commission said out of the figure, about 509,929 have concluded the in-person registration.

    The INEC National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, Sam Olumekun, gave the figures in a statement.

    The national commissioner said the CVR has been suspended in Anambra State until after the November 11 governorship election.

    The statement reads: “As of Sunday, September 14, a total of 4,445,505 Nigerians have now pre-registered online in four weeks since the commencement of the exercise on August 18, 2025.

    Commenting on the number of those who have completed their registration process, Olumekun said: “As of Friday, September 12, 2025, the combined figures of the completed online pre-registration and the physical (in-person) registration are 509,929, out of which 229,758 (45.06 per cent) are male and 280,171 (54.94 per cent) are female. In terms of age and occupation, 378,132 (74.15 per cent) are young people between the ages of 18 and 34, while 196,529 (38.54 per cent) are students.

    “The detailed distribution of both online and completed registrations by state, gender, age, occupation, and disability has been uploaded to our website and other official platforms for public information.”

    The national commissioner said INEC had also suspended online pre-registration in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to allow for ward registration in the territory ahead of the Area Council elections scheduled for February.

    The statement said: “As earlier announced by the commission, the online voter pre-registration in the FCT ends Monday, September 15, 2025. For the next two weeks, the physical (in-person) option will be at the designated venues.

    “Thereafter, the commission will devolve the registration to all the 62 wards in the FCT from September 29 to October 8, 2025. Detailed addresses of the centres have already been uploaded to our official platforms.”
