The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said on Tuesday that 2,685,725 Nigerians have completed new voter registration in the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise.
INEC gave the total in a post on its official X account.
The commission said 1,576,137 people finished the online pre-registration step, while 1,109,588 completed their registration in person at INEC centres across the country.
The figures combine both online and physical completions.
Osun State remains top among the states for new registrants, the update said.
Other states that have shown strong numbers in recent weeks include Imo and Kano, according to INEC and national media reports.
INEC has been running CVR in phases. The commission reminded Nigerians that the first quarter of the exercise will close soon, and urged eligible citizens to register or complete their enrolment before the deadline.
Election observers say steady CVR numbers are a good sign for participation, but they also warn that registration must be matched by voter education and good logistics to make sure people can actually vote when election day comes.
Civic groups continue to encourage young people and first-time voters to check their registration details on INEC’s portal.
Nigerians have called for INEC to post a full state-by-state breakdown and to display the voter register for public checks, and certain groups have urged how more people to register for the upcoming elections.
