The Independent National Electoral Commission says the ongoing online voters’ registration will be suspended on May 30th.
The commission made this known in a series of posts on its verified twitter page on Wednesday.
INEC noted that the online and physical registration are being carried out simultaneously so as to be prepared in time for the 2023 general elections.
The commission stated that registration process will enable it to clean up the registration data, print the Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) and compile the register ahead of the 2023 General Election.
The statement reads: “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.
“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.
“This will enable the online registrants to complete their registration physically at the designated centres before the exercise is suspended on 30th June 2022.
“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.
