The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has launched a free online membership registration platform nationwide, aiming to comply with the Electoral Act 2026 and prepare for the 2027 general elections.
In a statement issued on Sunday by its spokesman, Bolaji Abdullahi, the party explained that the digital portal is part of its broader nationwide membership registration and revalidation exercise unveiled in Abuja last month.
The party noted that only members whose information is properly captured and verified on its official digital register will be eligible to vote or contest in its primaries.
While rolling out the online system, the ADC clarified that manual registration would continue across states for individuals who prefer in-person enrolment.
The party noted increasing interest from Nigerians both within the country and in the diaspora since the launch of its grassroots membership drive in February.
It added that the online registration option is intended to make the process easier, more inclusive, and accessible to all eligible Nigerians.
Additionally, the ADC directed members who had registered on its previous digital platform to update and revalidate their information on the new portal in line with the Electoral Act 2026 and guidelines issued by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Support groups and affiliated associations were also encouraged to complete their registration through the platform.
The party emphasized that the exercise does not affect its reservations about certain provisions of the Electoral Act 2026 and the current INEC timetable.
