Ekiti Polls: INEC delists over 2,000 double registrants

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has taken action to clean up the voter registry in Ekiti State, invalidating 2,103 registrations identified as instances of double registration. This move comes in preparation for the upcoming Ekiti State Governorship Election, scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 20, 2026.

The commission's decision aims to ensure the integrity of the electoral process by removing duplicate entries. Double registration is a violation of electoral laws and can lead to fraudulent voting practices. By delisting these registrations, INEC is working to uphold fair and transparent elections in the state.

Further details regarding the specific methods used to identify these double registrations or any potential appeals process for those affected were not immediately available. The focus remains on ensuring a clean voter roll as the election date approaches.
