The Independent National Electoral Commission on Tuesday said 2.7 million double registrations were weeded out of the last Continuous Voters Registration exercise conducted by the commission.
INEC Chairman Prof Mahmoud Yakubu said this at a National Endowment for Democracy event in Washington DC in the United States.
He also said new Permanent Voter Cards will be made available by November.
According to him, about 50% of the new PVCs are ready but yet to be distributed to collection centres.
