The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has resumed the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise today, Monday 28th June.
The registration exercise, will be done online for now on INEC Registration Portal:
OR
while the physical CVR will commence on 19th July, 2021 at the INEC State and Local Government offices nationwide.
The INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu said the portal will be available for 18 years and above Nigerians who had never registered or registered voters who have had any problem during accreditation for any past election with either their Permanent Voter's Cards (PVCs) or their fingerprints not being read by the Smart Card Reader (SCR). Also, he stated that exercise is also open to registered voters who want to transfer their voting location from one place to another, want to correct issues with their data, such as misspelt names or dates of birth; and those whose PVCs are lost or damaged.
“However, I must quickly reiterate that the online registration is a public service and therefore free of charge. There is no INEC-approved cybercafe, no online registration centre and no scratch card to be purchased for the exercise. All you need is a device, including your mobile phones, that can connect to the internet. Citizens can complete the online pre-registration anywhere and at anytime they choose", said Prof. Mahmood.
