Abuja - A total number of 68 833 476 voters
registered for the February general elections.
Also, over four million Nigerians were involved
in multiple registrations across the country
and their names have been successfully by
the Independent National Electoral
Commission.
Chairman of INEC, Prof. Attahiru Jega, stated
this at the meeting the commission had with
the national leadership of all the 23 registered
political parties in Abuja on Tuesday evening.
Jega said, “In line with the provisions of the
law, the commission has just announced the
publications of the register of voters that will
be used for the February 2015 general
elections.

“The total number of voters registered for the
elections is 68 833 476.”
Jega said over four million Nigerians were
involved in double registration and that
because of this, their names had been
deleted from the register.
He said 38 774 391 Nigerians had collected
their Permanent Voter Cards out of the 54
341 610 that were ready as of Monday last
week.
He, however, said the commission had
ordered more PVCs and that some of them
were already waiting for collection.
Jega said, “The commission has taken
delivery of additional PVCs from the
contractor, and we are positive that we will
have all outstanding cards with us by 28
January, 2015.
“For the avoidance of doubt, possession of
PVCs is a strict condition for anyone
intending to vote in the 2015 elections.”
Asked about the resolutions passed by the
House of Representatives, asking the
commission to use TVCs, he said he was not
aware of such resolution.
