The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released the final register of voters for the November 2025 Anambra State governorship election, putting the total number of eligible voters at 2,802,790.
The commission announced the figures in Abuja on Thursday after its weekly meeting, where it reviewed the outcome of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise carried out across the 326 Wards of the state between July 8 and 20.
A statement signed by Sam Olumekun, National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, said 168,187 new registrants were captured during the exercise. However, after running the data through the Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS), 27,817 entries were found to be multiple or invalid registrations and consequently removed.
“Following the clean-up, the figure of valid new registrants now stands at 140,370, while 5,983 valid applications for transfer into the state were also processed, bringing the total number of fresh additions to 146,353,” the statement explained.
With this, Anambra’s voter register, which previously stood at 2,656,437, now has 2,802,790 names ahead of the poll.
According to INEC, the breakdown of the distribution by local government shows Idemili North has the highest voter strength with 246,318 (8.79%), followed by Awka South with 216,611 (7.73%) and Ogbaru with 188,016 (6.71%). Dunukofia and Anambra West recorded the lowest with 83,580 (2.98%) and 71,332 (2.55%) respectively.
The commission assured that Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) for all valid registrants would be produced and made available for collection well ahead of the election.
