INEC delists over 1.1 million new voter registrations but it’s not a conspiracy
Two weeks ago, INEC tweeted that 45% of voter registrations, that’s over 1.1 million, which happened within a 6 month period were invalid and would not be included in the voter register for the upcoming general election. Twitter went crazy, everyone’s conspiracy theory antennae went up, and INEC has been on the defensive ever since.
In this episode, we will try to break down for you how it’s possible to have invalid registrations and why the 45% number is actually consistent with what INEC has reported in the past.

INEC wants an Electoral Offences Commission but there are issues with the proposed bill
It’s no secret that in Nigeria, electoral offences happen. There’s vote buying, ballot box snatching, bribing of INEC officials, disorderly behavior at a political meeting, illegal voting, threatening a person with violence…these and so much more have been defined as election offenses in our laws and they come with penalties.
Last month, as part of a public hearing on the Bill for an Act to Establish the Electoral Offences Commission 2022 and other related matters, INEC made their case for why we need a separate commission to investigate, arrest, and prosecute election offenders.
We analyze the bill and identify significant gaps that may make the bill ineffective at best, or at worst, a political tool.
