More than a quarter of eligible Indigenous Australians living in the Northern Territory remain unenrolled to vote, despite "intense" focus on growing the electoral roll.

That's according to Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) officials, who say 74.1 per cent of First Nations people living in the NT are enrolled, a seven per cent increase from just five years ago.
