The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has confirmed that over 5.4 million eligible voters have successfully registered to participate in the upcoming governorship elections slated for November 11 in Kogi, Imo, and Bayelsa states.

Sam Olumekun, the INEC National Commissioner and Chairman of its Information and Voter Education Committee announced this in an official statement.

Olumekun further revealed that soft copies of the complete voter registers for each state will be made available to the political parties participating in these crucial elections.

The breakdown of registered voters in the three states is Bayelsa State with 1.05 million, Imo State with 2.4 million, and Kogi State with 1.9 million registered voters.

Additionally, INEC has concluded its preparations for a mock accreditation of voters in all three states. This exercise will serve as a trial run of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and the uploading of polling unit results to the INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV).

The mock accreditation is scheduled to occur simultaneously in Kogi, Imo, and Bayelsa on Saturday, October 14, 2023, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m."
