The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced that the 2025 Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) will commence nationwide on August 18.
In a post shared via its official X handle on Friday, the commission said online pre-registration will open that same day through its portal, while physical registration will begin on August 25.
The statement read, “This exercise is for Nigerians who have attained voting age or those who were unable to register in previous exercises.
“We encourage all eligible citizens to either begin the process online or visit our offices and designated centres once the physical registration begins.”
INEC said the in-person exercise would take place at all local government offices and designated centres across the country, from Mondays to Fridays, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
“The process also accommodates requests for transfer of registration, replacement of lost or damaged Permanent Voter Cards and correction of personal information such as names and dates of birth,” the statement added.
The Commission emphasised its commitment to conducting a credible electoral process, saying, “Our goal is to ensure every eligible Nigerian has the opportunity to exercise their civic right. We are working to make the voter registration process accessible, transparent, and inclusive.
“Your votes start with registration. Don’t miss your opportunity to register,” the agency urged.
