The Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), says it has not announced a date for the resumption of Continuous Voter Registration, (CVR).
This was as it also said that it has not decided on a date for the transfer and replacement of lost Permanent Voter Cards, (PVCs).
There has been a report making the rounds that the electoral umpire has scheduled May 27 for the resumption of CVR and other related services.
But, in a statement yesterday, INEC described the report is false, urging the public to disregard the “fake and anonymous statement”.
“In line with its tradition, the Commission will publicly announce the date for the resumption of the CVR at the appropriate time, the full details of which will also be shared via our official social media platforms,” the statement read.
Recall that in 2024, INEC chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, proposed the use of computer-generated slips for voter accreditation during elections.
According to him, with the introduction of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, BVAS, the use of PVC as the sole means of identification for voter accreditation on election day should be reviewed.
