The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has removed 1,608,660 invalid registrants from the voter register.
INEC said this is part of an ongoing clean-up exercise following claims, objections and complaints that trailed the preliminary voter register displayed by the commission.
The clean-up exercise also led to the removal of 876 voters who have been verified as deceased from the register.
The commission said it would publish the cleaned-up voter register on December 16, 2026, as required by the electoral law.
