The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has expressed worry over the persistent invalid registrations despite repeated warnings by the Commission.
The Chairman of INEC, Professor Mahmood Yakubu in a press briefing in Abuja said that many registrants, either out of ignorance or belief that their systems will not detect the infraction, register twice thereby invalidating their registration.
Professor Yakubu, noted, that invalid registration will not be included in the Register of Voters and in their commitment to transparency, the distribution of the registration figures, including the percentages of valid and invalid registrations on a State-by-State basis, have been uploaded to the Commission’s website and social media platforms immediately.
He reminded that in restarting the Continuous Voter, Registration, the Commission introduced the online pre-registration system as part of its determination to continue to improve the electoral process and ensure that Nigerian voters have the best voting experience.
