INEC confirmed that Anambra remains at zero due to the suspension of voter registration following the just-concluded governorship election, in line with Section 9(6) of the Electoral Act 2022.
The commission noted that the ongoing CVR—which began on August 18, 2025—is scheduled to run until August 2026. It added that the highest participation so far has come from South-West states, although recent mobilisation efforts are driving increased registration in the North.
Community groups, religious institutions and local leaders have also intensified sensitisation campaigns to encourage eligible citizens to register ahead of the next election cycle.
