INEC to end online voters’ registration May 30
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says online registration for the Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC) will end on May 30.
The commission disclosed this on its Facebook page on Wednesday.
The commission had started a Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) to enable Nigerians who were yet to have their PVCs get it before the 2023 general elections.
INEC had scheduled the CVR to end June 30. But the commission says it is ending the online registration a month earlier for enough time to finish registration before the deadline.
“As you are aware, the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise ends next month i.e. 30th June 2022.
“Both the online pre-registration as well as the physical registration at designated centres are taking place simultaneously. However, online pre-registrants would require time to schedule appointments to complete their registration physically at designated centers.
“For this reason, the Commission has decided to suspend the online registration in the next three weeks i.e. 30th May 2022. This will enable the online registrants to complete their registration physically at the designated centres before the exercise is suspended on 30th June 2022.
“This will enable the Commission to clean up the registration data, print the Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) and compile the register ahead of the 2023 General Election,” INEC said.
