Ahead of the governorship elections in Kogi and Bayelsa States, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has scheduled Continuous Voters Registration (CVR), in the states, from 2nd to 7th September, 2015.
The electoral umpire in a series of tweets via its handle, @inecnigeria said the five-day exercise will afford an opportunity for three groups of eligible registrants to register in order to vote.
According to INEC, the eligible registrants will include: “Those who were eligible but did not register before the 2015 General Elections; those who are eligible but whose names are not in the Voter’s Register, and those who have attained the age of eighteen (18) years since the last Voter Registration exercise.”
The commission which addressed stakeholders in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital on Monday, urged prospective registrants to turn out in large numbers and to take advantage of the exercise to register in order to vote, adding that a similar stakeholders forum will be held on Thursday, August 27 at Yenegoa, the Bayelsa State capital.
