The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has promised that as from September 29 to October 8, 2025, it will further decentralize the process of the ongoing registration of voters to all 62 wards in the FCT and other parts of the country.
This is just as the commission announced that over 4.4 million Nigerians have pre-registered online for voters registration, just four weeks after the commencement of the nationwide exercise.
According to a statement released by Sam Olumekun, National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, the figure as of Sunday, September 14, 2025, stood at 4,445,505.
Olumekun revealed that out of this number, 2,141,294 (48.17%) are male, while 2,304,211 (51.83%) are female.
He further noted that young Nigerians between the ages of 18 and 34 account for the majority, numbering 2,924,643 (65.79%), while 1,112,344 (25.02%) are students.
INEC also disclosed that as of Friday, September 12, 2025, the combined figure for completed registrations — which includes both online pre-registrations and physical (in-person) registrations — has reached 509,929.
Out of this total, 229,758 (45.06%) are male, and 280,171 (54.94%) are female.
Young people between 18 and 34 years make up 378,132 (74.15%) of the completed registrations, while 196,529 (38.54%) are students.
The Commission stated that the detailed breakdown of the registration figures by state, gender, age, occupation, and disability has been published on its official website and other platforms for public access.
Providing an update on the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Olumekun said that online pre-registration in the FCT ends, Monday, September 15, 2025.
“For the next two weeks, physical registration will continue at designated centres. From September 29 to October 8, 2025, INEC will further decentralize the process by taking registration to all 62 wards in the FCT.”
The Commission added that the addresses of all designated registration centres have been uploaded to its website and social media channels.
