2023: Voters’ registration ending today, INEC insists

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) insists that the Continuous Voter’s Registration (CVR) ends today, Sunday.

The INEC National Commissioner, Voter Education and Publicity, Barr. Festus Okoye made this known in a chat with journalists in Awka, Anambra State capital, on Saturday.

He said the exercise, scheduled to end today, July 31, 2022, would not be extended.

Okoye added that the electoral body had in many ways intervened to ensure all intending voters are captured, noting that the commission had in the last few weeks, extended registration centers to both churches and other places to mitigate the surging crowd.

In his words, “Few weeks we isolated places to carry out intervention; we took machines to markets, churches, NUJ, NYSC orientation camp and other places due to large concentration.

“This helped to mitigate the surging crowd. For complaints over performance of our staff, we developed a compliant desk for people to voice out their complaints”.
