Following the launch of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) online pre-registration portal on Monday 28th June 2021, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has disclosed that 24 hours after the launch, 59,331 accounts were created. 

The National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye  made this known in a statement on Tuesday, May 29th, where he gave an update on the pre-registration.

In a breakdown, he said that within the same period, 42,211 applications were received out of which 27,759 individuals applied for new voter pre-registration services; 11, 177 requested for voter review record; 1, 669 applied for voter transfer; 853 asked for information update; 335 applied for replacement of lost or damaged PVCs; while 418 applicants requested for uncollected PVCs.  

These statistics, he noted, have been uploaded to the Commission’s website and social media platforms. 

He further stated that the Commission will provide Nigerians with weekly updates on the activities on the portal and the online registration status. 

According to him, “It is imperative to remind Nigerians that physical CVR will commence on 19th July, 2021 at INEC State and Local Government Offices nationwide. Those that are unable to register online will be attended to from the scheduled date. Every eligible Nigerian will have an opportunity to register. The CVR process will continue for at least one year. 

“Scheduled appointments for online registrants will also begin on 19th July 2021, while the commencement date for physical CVR in all the 2, 673 registration centres nationwide will be determined based on the evaluation of the security situation in the country. 

“We encourage those that can register online to do so, while all other Nigerians will commence their registration on the 19th July 2021”, he stated. 

Recall that the Commission launched the online pre-registration services for the following categories of Nigerians: Those who are 18 years and above and have never registered; Registered voters who have had any problem during the accreditation for past elections, with either their Permanent Voters’ Cards or fingerprints not being read by the Smart Card Reader (SCR).

Others are; Registered voters who want to transfer their voting location from one place to another; Registered voters who want to correct issues with their data, such as misspelt names, dates of birth, etc; and Registered voters whose Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) are lost or damaged.
