*KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THE DATA:*
*1. Lagos Still Holds The Ace:* Lagos State maintains its lead as the state with the highest number of registered voters with 7,488,633, followed closely by Kano with 6,570,276.
*2. Northwest Is The Giant:* The Northwest region, home to Kano, Kaduna (4.6m) and Katsina (3.8m) remains the biggest voting bloc in Nigeria.
*3. Southeast Has Work To Do:* The five states of the Southeast have the lowest combined numbers, with Ekiti (1,055,708) and Bayelsa (1,200,691) recording the least voters in the country.
*4. Imo Leads In Southeast:* Imo State tops the Southeast with 2,706,052 registered voters.
*What This Means For 2027 Elections*
With over 103 million voters, the 2027 general election will be a game of numbers. Politicians who can capture Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, Rivers and Katsina already have a huge advantage. But will these registered voters actually come out to vote? That is the big question.
INEC has continued to call on Nigerians to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) as collection is key to participation.
