CENSUS, NOT COMPULSORY VOTING, NEEDED TO ENHANCE VOTER TURNOUT IN NIGERIA
The upcoming biometric Population and Housing Census presents a unique opportunity to create a digital National Population Register. This register would strengthen the e-CRVS system and integrate biometric data from various agencies to streamline the identification of deceased registrants, ensuring accurate sharing of official death records with INEC, thus allowing for the removal of deceased voters from the register.
