The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has removed 1,608,660 invalid voter registration records and 873 entries belonging to deceased persons from the preliminary voters register.
The commission also identified 54 registration personnel across 10 states for alleged involvement in registration irregularities.
INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan, disclosed this during a press conference on the outcome of the review of the 2025/2026 Continuous Voter Registration, CVR, exercise.
The review followed complaints and objections raised by members of the public over the preliminary voters register.
Amupitan said the affected personnel had been identified for administrative investigation, with disciplinary measures, including possible prosecution, to be considered.
According to him, the review uncovered cases of multiple registrations, unusual registration patterns, substituted photographs and irregularities involving registration transactions.
