According to the latest figures released on Monday by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the period September 22 to 28, 2025, a total of 6,232,673 Nigerians have so far pre-registered online.

Borno recorded 682,805 registrations, representing 10.96 percent of the total, the highest by any state so far.

The data also revealed that young Nigerians remain the dominant demographic in the CVR exercise.

Women continue to outnumber men, with 3,250,338 females (52.15 percent) pre-registering compared to 2,982,335 males (47.85 percent).

In addition, INEC revealed that 137,865 persons with disabilities (PWDs) have also pre-registered online, reflecting growing inclusion in the electoral process.

Meanwhile, statistics for completed registrations, combining online and physical enrolments between September 22 and 26 (week five), indicated that 1,004,132 Nigerians have completed the process.

Out of this figure, 537,743 were completed online, while 466,389 were done physically at INEC registration centres across the country.

“This is a preliminary figure pending data clean-up during the period for claims and objections by citizens, followed by the deployment of the Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS),” INEC said.
