INEC To Suspend Online Voter Registration For 3 Weeks

 


The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has said that it will suspend the online Continuous Voters Registration, going on across the country.

In a statement by the commission, it said that the suspension is to enable online registrants to complete their registration physically at designated centre’s before the exercise is finally suspended.

The electoral body also said it will enable the body clean up registration data, print voters card and compile register ahead of next year’s election.

The statement reads, “As you are aware, the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise ends next month i.e. 30th June 2022. Both the online pre-registration as well as the physical registration at designated centres are taking place simultaneously.

However, online pre-registrants would require time to schedule appointments to complete their registration physically at designated centers. For this reason, the Commission has decided to suspend the online registration in the next three weeks i.e. 30th May 2022.

This will enable the online registrants to complete their registration physically at the designated centres before the exercise is suspended on 30th June 2022.

“This will enable the Commission to clean up the registration data, print the Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) and compile the register ahead of the 2023 General Election”.
