The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it
will commence nationwide continuous voter registration (CVR) in the first
quarter of 2025.
The electoral body said the exercise will commence at the
LGA level and later extend to registration areas.
In a memo dated November 20, 2024, Rose
Oriaran-Anthony, the commission’s secretary, asked resident electoral
commissioners to make some arrangements for the exercise.
“Kindly provide the following information for adequate
preparation for the exercise: Status of INEC Voter Enrolment Device (IVED) and
accessories in the state,” the memo reads.
“Status of both coloured and black/white heavy-duty printers
and availability of CVR Forms/materials.
“The commission is considering commencing the exercise at
Local Government Area (LGA) level and later devolve to Registration Area (RA)
level.
“The state offices are expected to identify and select staff
that will work as voter registration officials.
“You are to please prepare the information of uncollected
Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) to facilitate the printing of the Register of
uncollected PVCs for display during the exercise.”
In July 2022, the electoral body suspended the CVR exercise
ahead of the 2023 general election.
However, INEC conducted voter registration exercises in
states in which off-cycle elections took place.
