The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has launched a free online membership registration portal nationwide, enabling Nigerians to join or revalidate their membership digitally.
The initiative follows the successful commencement of the party’s physical nationwide registration and revalidation exercise in Abuja last month.
The new platform, accessible at adcregistration.ng, aligns with the requirements of the Electoral Act 2026, which mandates political parties to maintain verified digital membership registers.
According to the ADC, only individuals whose details are fully captured and verified on this official digital register will be eligible to vote or contest in the party’s primaries.
The move addresses legal obligations while aiming to broaden participation ahead of future elections.
Since the grassroots exercise began in February, the party has recorded significant interest from Nigerians across various states and the diaspora.
The introduction of a free online option seeks to eliminate barriers, streamline the enrolment process, and allow every eligible citizen to affiliate with the ADC securely and conveniently.

Existing members who registered on the previous platform must revalidate their membership on the new portal, as additional mandatory information is now required to comply fully with the Electoral Act and guidelines from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The ADC has also encouraged support groups and associations to register via the portal and complete the straightforward onboarding process.
In a statement, the party reiterated its commitment to fostering a modern, inclusive, and citizen-driven political movement capable of providing credible leadership for a better Nigeria.
However, it maintained its strong objections to certain provisions of the Electoral Act 2026, which it argues confer undue advantages on the ruling party, as well as the related INEC timetable.
The ADC emphasised that this registration drive is part of its broader efforts to build a transparent and robust structure, ensuring genuine participation in Nigeria’s democratic process.
