INEC delists over 1.1 million new voter registrations but it’s not a conspiracy

The Backstory

Sep 22 2022 • 15 mins

Two weeks ago, INEC tweeted that 45% of voter registrations, that’s over 1.1 million, which happened within a 6 month period were invalid and would not be included in the voter register for the upcoming general election. Twitter went crazy, everyone’s conspiracy theory antennae went up, and INEC has been on the defensive ever since.

In this episode, we will try to break down for you how it’s possible to have invalid registrations and why the 45% number is actually consistent with what INEC has reported in the past.
