The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has extended the Continuous Voter Registration(CVR) exercise nationwide.

The commission has also directed that all Resident Electoral Commissioners and Electoral Officers should continue with the exercise pending further directives from the Commission.

In a statement signed by the National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, the Commission stated that it “has consistently reiterated its resolve to continue to provide electoral services to the Nigerian people and register all eligible Nigerians that are interested in registering”.

Okoye said the Commission has also deployed additional machines to areas of pressure, assuring that it would continue to serve the people of Nigeria.

Speaking on the case at the Federal High Court on the terminal date of the CVR, Okoye stated that the case “came up yesterday Wednesday 29th June 2022, and based on the request of the Commission, the Court granted an accelerated hearing and adjourned the matter to Monday 4th July 2022 for hearing of the substantive matter.

“The Commission will give an update after court hearing next week” he added.

On the issue of 2023 elections, the statement reads:

Uploading of List and Particulars of Nominated Candidates

By the Timetable and Schedule of Activities released by the Commission, Political Parties that conducted valid Governorship and State Assembly primaries shall upload the list and personal particulars of their nominated candidates between 1st and 15th July 2022.

We urge political parties to scrutinize the list and personal particulars of the candidates they propose to sponsor at the election to avoid any mix-up and duplication of names.

The Candidates Nomination Portal will shut down at 6pm on 15th July 2022. Political parties that have challenges with uploading documents should contact the Commission’s Help – Desk, through the dedicated telephone lines or contact the candidate nomination centre at the Commission’s headquarters.
