“The ABIS for the period – 15th January to 31st July 2022 is almost completed. Several double, multiple and ineligible registrants have also been detected and invalidated. These include entries that fail to meet the Commission’s business rules. The Commission takes this responsibility seriously because a credible register is at the heart of electoral integrity,” it said.


The statement further reassured Nigerians that a thorough process was being undertaken to clean up the registration data, following which Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) for all valid registrants would be ready for collection by the end of November.
