The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has introduced a free online membership registration platform across Nigeria as part of preparations for the 2027 general elections.
In a statement released on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, 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.
According to the ADC, the new platform was created to comply with the requirements of the Electoral Act 2026 concerning digital membership records.
The party stated 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.
On February 18, Bola Tinubu signed the Electoral Act amendment into law, requiring political parties to submit detailed digital membership registers to INEC before conducting their primaries.
