The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) releases figures showing the states with the highest number of registered voters ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections. Across the reports, Lagos is listed as having the most registered voters, followed by Kano and Kaduna.
INEC presents the information during its World Press Conference in Abuja, with the Daily Post Nigeria report attributing the figures to INEC Chairman Prof. Joash Amupitan. Other outlets focus on the ranking of states, while one report also cites an overall national figure of about 103.4 million registered voters. The coverage generally aligns on the top three states but varies in how much additional detail each outlet includes, such as presenting the broader top-ten list and any related voter-registration or election-preparation details.
Overall, the outlets describe the same INEC data release—intended as part of the commission’s preparations for the 2027 polls—while differing mainly in the prominence given to the total voter count versus the state-by-state ranking.
