The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says 505,906 voters have participated in its pre-registration for the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR).
The Chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, disclosed this, yesterday, in Abuja during a road-show organised by the commission to flag off the 2025 CVR exercise.
Yakubu said that INEC designated and activated its portal for the CVR exercise five days ago.
Represented by National Commissioner, May Agbamuche-Mbu, he said that the figure attested to the fact that Nigerians believed in democracy and INEC’s effort to further strengthen the electoral process.
Yakubu said that the CVR highlighted a significant step of INEC’s effort to deliver credible elections and to strengthen Nigeria’s democracy.
The INEC chairman said that the CVR started with online pre-registration on Aug. 18, enabling citizens to use their electronic devices to pre-register online.
He said that starting from August 25, INEC Local Government Area (LGA) and state offices would be open for the exercise nationwide.
