In this week’s issue, we break down INEC’s latest update on the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR), where over 2.6 million Nigerians, many of them young, have signed up in just two weeks. We also spotlight Anambra, where 2.8 million voters are on the register ahead of the November 8 governorship election. Plus, ANSIEC has already locked in a date, August 29, 2026, for local government polls across the state.
We also cover the ADC’s strong reaction to the Rivers State LG elections, calling the entire process illegal and heading to court. On the national front, the PDP is gearing up for its November convention with eyes set on 2027, while in Oyo, Adebayo Shittu is making a bold case for his experience in the APC race. And if the INEC–NIMC data merge plan takes off, you just might walk into one centre and come out with both your PVC and NIN. Catch all the stories and more in this week’s edition of The Ballot.
