ADC Challenges INEC Over Accuracy of Continuous Voter Registration Data
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has raised serious concerns regarding the integrity of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) figures released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The party has called on INEC to promptly carry out a comprehensive forensic examination of the registration data collected during the initial week of the CVR exercise.
Demand for Detailed State-Level Data Transparency
In addition to the audit, the ADC insists that INEC should provide a detailed breakdown of the registration statistics, distinguishing between physical and online registrations on a state-by-state basis. This demand underscores the party’s push for greater transparency and accountability in the electoral process.
Context and Importance of Accurate Voter Registration
Accurate voter registration data is critical to ensuring free and fair elections, especially as Nigeria prepares for upcoming polls. Discrepancies or inaccuracies in voter rolls can undermine public confidence and potentially affect election outcomes. The ADC’s call for a forensic audit aligns with global best practices where electoral bodies are expected to maintain transparent and verifiable voter databases.
Looking Ahead: Strengthening Electoral Integrity
As Nigeria continues to expand its voter registration efforts, incorporating both digital and physical platforms, the need for meticulous data verification becomes even more pressing.
