With the preparations for the 2023 general elections in top
gear, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has announced that
the display of the fourth quarter preliminary register of voters (PVR) ongoing
at the INEC Local Government offices nationwide will end on 21st August, 2022.
The Commission revealed this in a statement issued via its
official Facebook page on Thursday.
The exercise is coming on the heels of the conclusion of the
nationwide Continuous Voter Registration (CVR), which formally closed on July
31, 2022.
INEC had said at the conclusion of the voter registration that the commission would undertake a clean-up of the register to remove multiple registrants using the Automated Biometric identification System (ABIS) and display the register for public scrutiny.
According to INEC, display of the preliminary register of
voters allows voters to check if they were duly registered to vote, which may
warrant the need to contact the Electoral Officer (EO) to request for an
amendment to a voter’s details as they appear in the PRV.
“The display of the PRV will provide the opportunity for
claims and objections against the inclusion or omission of names in the
register, check and verify whether their names, photographs and other details
appear correctly in the PRV, file any complaint in relation to any necessary
correction required of a name or details incorrectly entered in the PRV, file
any complaint, claim or objection in relation to the names omitted or included
in the PRV,” the commission said.
It reminded members of the public that the exercise was
free.
