Voter registration is a crucial aspect of any election, as it determines the number of eligible voters who will have the opportunity to participate in the democratic process.
In Nigeria, the 2023 election is fast approaching, and one of the key questions on many people’s minds is how many registered voters there will be.
The process of voter registration in Nigeria is managed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), which is responsible for compiling and maintaining the voter register.
The commission has been actively working to ensure that as many eligible voters as possible are registered for the upcoming election.
To register to vote in Nigeria, individuals must meet certain eligibility criteria. These include being at least 18 years old on the date of the election, possessing a valid national ID card, and not being disqualified from voting by a court of law.
