The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says no fewer than 1,565,873 Nigerians have successfully completed their voter registration as of June 26.
This is at the conclusion of week seven in the Phase III of its Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise.
According to statistics released by INEC on Tuesday in Abuja, the figure comprises 620,933 citizens who completed their online pre-registration and 944,940 who registered physically.
The commission, however, said that the statistics remained preliminary, pending a comprehensive data clean-up during the scheduled period for public claims and objections, which would be followed by the deployment of the Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS).
The state-by-state breakdown reveals that Kano State recorded the highest voter turnout, accounting for 118,207 registrants, representing 7.55 per cent of the national total.
