INEC had recently made the entire register public on its website for the first time in the nation’s electoral history.

However, many Nigerians have identified numerous cases of underage voters and double registration.

In a statement signed by the National Commissioner, Festus Okoye, INEC said it was committed to cleaning up the register and punish those found guilty of tampering with its integrity.

The Commission said making the register public was a sign of transparency on its part.

 

The register is expected to be displayed physically at the Local Government level from November 19 to 25, during which voters can make claims and objections.

The Commission said cleaning up the voter register, which contains all the voters dating back to the 2011 registration exercise, was a continuous and painstaking process over time.
