The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, says the deadline for the Continuous Voters Registration, CVR, exercise remains July 31, and those who register more than once would not get their PVCs.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner, INEC FCT, Yahaya Bello, made
this known at a news conference on the commission’s state of preparedness for the 2023 general elections, on CVR, PVC, validity and collection in Abuja.
Bello said that all CVR activities except the collection of already printed
PVCs would be suspended on Sunday July 31, adding that the commission increased the closing hours to 5pm daily including Saturdays and Sundays.
According to him, this was done to accommodate the reawaking of those
who now realised that they need their PVCs at the last hour of the programme that has been ongoing for over a year.
He appealed to residents to patronise centres close to their locations, adding that there was no need for people in the suburbs to come all the
way to INEC’s office in Area 10.
