The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has put the number of new registered voters in Edo at 119,206 and Ondo 58,708.
Mr Sam Olumekun, National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee of INEC, disclosed this in an analysis on Monday in Abuja.
Olumekun said that the figures do not include the 8,847 applications for transfer into Edo and 3,132 into Ondo from other states of the federation.
He recalled that on June 11, INEC released a preliminary figure of newly registered voters ahead of the two states governorship elections, before the period for claims and objections.
The commissioner said that the release was followed by the cleaning up of the data using the Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS)
“The number of new voters for Edo is 119,206 and 58,708 for Ondo. These figures do not include the 8,847 applications for transfer into Edo and the 3,132 into Ondo from other states of the Federation.
“Similarly, they do not include applications for transfer within the two states because they are already captured on the voters’ register.
“The figures of the new voters and inter-state transfers are being integrated into the existing register.
“In the next few days, the commission will release the comprehensive and final register of voters to be used for the 2024 governorship elections for each of the states,” he said.
Olumekun said that the analysis indicating the distribution by Local Government Areas, gender, age, occupation and disability had been uploaded to INEC website and social media platforms for public information.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that age distribution for the new registered voters for Edo shows 61,684, which  represents  51.75 per cent males  and 57,522 representing 48.25 per cent females, while persons with disabilities are 606 (0.15 per cent)
Similarly in Ondo,  26,447 which represents 45.05 per cent are males, while 32,261 representing 54.95 per cent are females, and 324 representing 0.55 per cent are persons with disabilities.
