The Independent National Electoral Commission INEC says it plans to conduct the Continuous Voter Registration CVR in Edo and Ondo States from Monday, May 27th to Wednesday, June 5th.
INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, said this at the commission’s second regular quarterly consultative meeting with political parties held in Abuja.
Yakubu said that INEC would also distribute uncollected Permanent Voter Cards PVCs in the two states during the period, advising those who were yet to register or collect their PVCs to use the opportunity to do so.
He said that the resumption of the CVR would also afford registered voters who wanted to transfer their registration from other states to Edo and Ondo.
Yakubu said that taking into consideration the limited time to the election, the CVR would take place at ward and state headquarters of INEC instead of the local government offices, and a few designated centers.
