The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has officially commenced free online membership registration across Nigeria, following the successful kick-off of its nationwide registration and revalidation in Abuja last month. The new digital registration platform, accessible via adcregistration.ng, is designed to enable the party meet the requirements of the new Electoral Act 2026 regarding digital membership registers. Accordingly, only individuals whose membership details are fully captured and verified in the Party’s official digital register will be eligible to vote or be voted for in the Party’s primaries. Since the launch of the physical and grassroots membership exercise in February, we have recorded strong interest from Nigerians across states and the diaspora. Apart from meeting legal requirements, the introduction of the free online option is designed to remove barriers to entry, simplify enrolment, and ensure that every eligible Nigerian who wishes to identify with the ADC can do so seamlessly and securely. Members who have registered on the Party’s previous platform are also required to revalidate their membership on the new digital portal, as additional mandatory information is now required to ensure full compliance with the Electoral Act and INEC guidelines. Support groups and associations are also encouraged to take advantage of this window by registering at adcregistration.ng and completing the simple onboarding process. ADC would like to emphasise that this exercise is without prejudice to our firm objections to the provisions of the Electoral Act 2026 that give undue advantage to the ruling party, as well as the consequential INEC timetable. The African Democratic Congress remains committed to building a modern, inclusive, and citizen-driven political movement capable of delivering credible leadership and a better Nigeria that works for all.
