The Independent National Electoral Commission has declared
its readiness to resume the nationwide Continuous Voter Registration scheduled
for June 28.
This was made known on Thursday by the INEC Deputy Director
of Voter Education Division, Mary Nkem, at a roadshow on the CVR organised by
the commission in Abuja.
According to Nkem, the exercise would be taking place from 9
am to 3 pm from Monday to Friday, excluding weekends.
“It will involve two processes, that is, online pre-registration and physical registration.
“ So, people can sit in the comfort of their homes and login
details for registration.
“Then go to any of our local government or state office to
capture their biometrics and photographs; or you appear physically at any
designated register,” she said.
She also said that the commission would come up with the
guidelines for the collection of permanent voters’ card.
At the road show were INEC staff members from the voter
education and publicity department, members of the National Youth Service
Corps, among others.
The road show was to create awareness and to mobilise
eligible voters in Abuja for the resumption of the exercise.
“It is also to let FCT residents know those who are being
targeted in the exercise; those who have turned 18 after the last registration
exercise, or those who are more than 18 years but have never registered.
“This exercise is also for those who have issues with their
accreditation during the past elections, those who have issues with their
Permanent Voter Cards or their biometric details,” Nkem explained.
