Ahead of the 2023 general elections, the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to allow seven million Nigerians to complete their voter registration.

SERAP made the call in a statement by its Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, warning that failure of the electoral body would attract legal action.

According to the rights group, INEC recently disclosed that out of 10.48MILLION Nigerians who carried out their pre-registration online, only 3.44 MILLION completed the process at a physical center.

SERAP believes that the right to vote is also the right to be given the time and opportunity to complete the registration process so that it can be effectively exercised.
