The voters register that the Electoral Commission used in the 2021 general elections had 18,103,603 registered voters. 

Since then, the Voter Register has been updated through voter registration exercises in electoral areas where the Commission has conducted parliamentary and local government council by-elections.

Further, the Voter Register has been continuously updated by extracting the voting particulars of citizens who have been registered by the NIRA and verified as citizens and have provided a preferred polling station (either parish of origin or parish of residence). As of today, Monday, February 10, 2025, the National Voters Register stands at 19,925,574 (nineteen million nine hundred twenty-five thousand five hundred and seventy-four) voters. “The Commission, taking into account its observations in the field and assessment, as well as appeals from stakeholders, among other reasons, has decided, therefore, to extend the update exercise for seven days, starting Tuesday 11th and ending Monday 17th February 2025, after which there will be no further extension. During the extension, the exercise will continue to be conducted at update stations starting from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, every day, including weekends,” he said. The purpose of this extension is to provide an opportunity for eligible persons who have not been able to register between January 20 and February 10, 2025, to do so.
