Voter register · preliminary · totals only
The 2027 register in totals.
How many people are on INEC's preliminary register of voters for the 2027 elections, nationally and in each geopolitical zone, next to the 2023 register.
Figures from published sources, not an official INEC table. The 2026 totals are INEC's announcement of 6 October 2026 as reported by the press; INEC's own table has not been published online. They are preliminary and can change before the final register on 15 December 2026. Only INEC holds the register. To check your own entry, use INEC's portal: see how to check your name.

State-by-state figures are not shown, because INEC has not published its own state table online. Binchika plans to add them from INEC's own figures, for example the final register.
What this page is, and isn't
- Totals only. No names, voter numbers (VINs), photographs or any other individual record. Binchika does not keep a copy of the register and offers no name search.
- Every figure has a source, listed below. The 2023 figures come from INEC's official document; its fingerprint (SHA-256) is recorded in Binchika's open data.
- Checked before it is shown: the six zone totals must add up exactly to the national total, or the page is not built.
- Claims and objections go to INEC, not to Binchika. Binchika does not take, process or forward them.
