says visibly underage persons who attempt to vote during the 2023 elections will be arrested.
Okoye said in an effort to address issues around underage registration, INEC has summoned all its officers in areas where underage registrations were recorded. “Some of the data you saw on social media about underage registration were some registrations that took place from 2011 to before the 2019 elections,” he said.“This commission had the courage to publish the entire register of voters and asked Nigerians to also check to ensure no malicious registrations have gone into our voters’ register.
‘As of today, the voters’ register is hovering around 93.5 million registered voters. On January 16, the commission will publish the official register that will be used for 2023 elections.”
