The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released the final register of voters for the November 8, 2025 Anambra State Governorship Election, putting the total number of eligible voters in the state at 2,802,790.

This was contained in an official statement issued on Thursday, September 4, 2025, by National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Sam Olumekun, after the Commission’s meeting in Abuja.

According to the statement, INEC conducted a fresh voter registration exercise across the 326 wards in Anambra State between July 8 and 20, 2025. During the exercise, 168,187 citizens registered as new voters. However, after the mandatory one-week display for claims and objections, followed by scrutiny using the Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS), 27,817 entries were identified as double or multiple registrations and subsequently removed from the register.

With this adjustment, the valid number of new registrants now stands at 140,370, while valid transfer applications into the state are 5,983, bringing the total additions to 146,353.

Prior to this exercise, Anambra State had 2,656,437 registered voters. The inclusion of the new entries raises the figure to 2,802,790.

The breakdown by Local Government Areas shows Idemili North as having the highest number of registered voters with 246,318 (8.79%), followed by Awka South with 216,611 (7.73%) and Ogbaru with 188,016 (6.71%). Dunokofia has 83,580 (2.98%) and Anambra West 71,332 (2.55%), recording the lowest figures.

Olumekun noted that the distribution of the new voter figures by Local Government Areas has been uploaded to the Commission’s official website and other platforms for public access. He also assured that Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) for all new registrants, transfers, and replacements will be ready for collection well ahead of the governorship election scheduled for November 8, which is now just 63 days away.

Meanwhile, INEC also gave an update on the number of associations seeking registration as political parties. The Commission revealed that since its last update, it has received 19 additional letters of intent, bringing the total number of applications to 171 as at September 3, 2025.

The Commission disclosed that the shortlist of pre-qualified associations is being finalised for the next stage of the application process. A committee reviewing the letters of intent has already prepared its recommendations, which will soon be considered by the Commission.

INEC expressed concern over some irregularities observed in the applications, including frequent changes to logos, acronyms, and addresses by some associations, as well as cases of multiple submissions. The statement also noted that some associations had changed their interim leaderships following defections to other associations or even existing political parties, a development that has further delayed the process.

The Commission, however, reassured the associations that all applications will be treated fairly and appealed to them to remain patient and consistent in order to ensure a smooth registration process.

“As always, the Commission will continue to communicate with Nigerians on all its activities,” Olumekun stated.
