The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has stated that 9,891,801 Nigerians have concluded their online pre-registrations nationwide at the end of first quarter of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) across the country.
INEC in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday by Mrs. Victoria Eta-Messi, Director, Voter Education and Publicity, explained that out of 2,572,054, registrations have been fully completed, including 1,503,832 online completions and 1,068,222 physical registrations as of last week.
In a bid to ensure that voters confirm information given to INEC, the commission urged Nigerians, specifically those who registered, transferred or updated their information to use this statutory window to verify their details.
The electoral umpire also enjoined them to report inaccuracies and draw attention to ineligible or deceased persons on the register.
Giving further insights, INEC said the commission is also using the opportunity to notify the public that the first quarter of this exercise will formally close on Wednesday, December 10.
It added that in line with Section 19 of the Electoral Act 2022, the commission will commence the display of the register of voters for claims and objections from December 15 to 21.
While announcing the date for the commencement of the next phase of the exercise, the commission noted that the CVR exercise in Anambra State and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) remains suspended due to electoral activities in both locations, adding that new dates for the resumption of the exercise in both locations will be communicated in due course.
