The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Sunday released the latest voter registration figures, showing that 2,316,232 Nigerians have completed registration nationwide.
The numbers vary widely across states, with Osun topping the list.
INEC noted that registration remains suspended in Anambra State until after the governorship election on November 8, 2025, in line with Section 9(6) of the Electoral Act 2022.
Consequently, Anambra’s figures are not included in this update.
According to the commission, the statistics represent completed online and physical registrations for Week 12 of the continuous voter registration (CVR) exercise.
Top-performing states:
Osun – 185,089
Imo – 143,386
Kano – 132,290
Sokoto – 123,320
Other notable registrations include Lagos (109,693), the Federal Capital Territory (106,855) and Borno (106,376).
States in the middle range include Kogi (91,573), Jigawa (88,209), Zamfara (84,268) and Katsina (80,425), while Rivers recorded 57,251, Benue 42,557 and Bayelsa 38,627.
Lower-ranking states in the latest figures include Ebonyi (28,310), Edo (27,130), Plateau (24,077), Taraba (17,803), Enugu (16,304), Ondo (16,012), Cross River (14,559), and Abia (12,297).
The CVR exercise, which began on August 18, 2025, is scheduled to continue until August 2026.
South-Western states, particularly Osun and Lagos, have consistently led in registration, while recent mobilisation efforts have boosted participation in northern states.
