ADC commences free online membership registration

By Shamsudeen Abubakar

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 exercise in Abuja last month.

The announcement was made on Sunday, March 1, 2026, by Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC spokesman, via his X handle (formerly Twitter).

According to the statement, the new digital registration platform is designed to enable the party to meet the requirements of the new Electoral Act 2026 regarding digital membership registers.

Bolaji further noted that 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,” he stated.

Beyond meeting legal requirements, the spokesman explained that the introduction of the free online option is aimed at removing barriers to entry, simplify enrolment, and ensuring 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,” he disclosed.

The party emphasized that the exercise is without prejudice to its firm objections to certain provisions of the Electoral Act 2026, which it believes give undue advantage to the ruling party, as well as to the consequential timetable released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Interested members can access the registration link via adcregistration.ng. The ADC reiterated its commitment towards building a modern, inclusive, and citizen-driven political movement capable of delivering credible leadership and a better Nigeria that works for all.
