Nigeria’s electoral commission, INEC, projects that the number of registered voters will exceed 100 million by 2027. The projections are tied to the completion of the nationwide Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) process currently underway.
According to INEC, the most recent voter register stands at more than 93 million. Both outlets report that, once the just-concluded CVR is finalised, the register is expected to cross the 100 million mark. The planned roadmap for the period leading to 2027 focuses on voter mobilisation and efforts to strengthen public confidence in the electoral process.
The sources describe the same forecast and the broad priorities for the electoral timetable. Vanguard emphasises equal access to the electoral process alongside mobilisation and confidence-building, while Premium Times highlights the expected increase from the current register figures and the role of finalising CVR. Neither outlet disputes the projection or provides alternative estimates.
