Recent report released by The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has revealed that Lagos, Kano, Kaduna and Rivers states has highest number of registered voters

Presenting the voter register in Abuja on Wednesday, January 11, 2023, the chairman of the commission, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, said the number of registered youths was 37,060,399.
He said following the allegations of underage voters in the preliminary list released in November 2022, the commission has cleaned the list by removing all the ineligible persons on the register.
Yakubu said, “After the cleaning-up of the data from the last continuous voter registration exercise, 9,518,188 new voters were added to the previous register, resulting in the preliminary register of 93,522,272, which was presented to Nigerians for claims and objections as required by law.
“At the end of the period for claims and objections by citizens, the commission received 53,264 objections from Nigerians to the prevalence of ineligible persons on the register by age, citizenship, or death. These names have been verified and removed from the register.”
In the voter register, the North-West geopolitical region has the highest number of registered voters with 22,255,562, while the South-West zone has 17,958,966.
