The Independent National Electoral Commission has said that it is fully ready to resume the nationwide Continuous Voter Registration scheduled for June 28.
Mrs. Mary Nkem, INEC Deputy Director, Voter Education Division, stated this at a roadshow on the CVR organized by the commission in Abuja.
Nkem said that the roadshow was to sensitize and mobilize eligible voters in the FCT for the exercise.
“It is also to let FCT residents know those who are being targeted in the exercise.
“Those who have turned 18 after the last registration exercise, or those who are more than 18 years but have never registered.
“This exercise is also for those who have issues with their accreditation during the past elections, those who have issues with their Permanent Voter Cards or their biometric details,” Ekem explained.
She said that the exercise would be taking place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. from Monday to Friday, excluding weekends.
“It will involve two processes, that is, online pre-registration and physical registration.

“ So, people can sit in the comfort of their homes and login details for registration.
“Then go to any of our local government or state office to capture their biometrics and photographs, or you appear physically at any designated register,” she said.
She said that the commission would come up with the guidelines for the collection of PVCs.
The roadshow was used to sensitize FCT residents in different languages including English, broken English, Hausa, Ibo, and Yoruba, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
