INEC Begins Nationwide Continuous Voter Registration Today
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced the commencement of its Nationwide Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise, beginning today.
In a statement released via its official Twitter handle on Monday, the commission announced that the online pre-registration phase has begun. Eligible Nigerians can now log on to www.cvr.inecnigeria.org to begin the process ahead of the physical exercise.
According to INEC, physical registration will commence on Monday, August 25, 2025, nationwide.
The commission explained that in-person registration would take place in all its 37 state offices and 774 local government area offices nationwide, to ensure accessibility for prospective voters.
It further stated, “The CVR exercise is open to new voters aged 18 and above, those who wish to collect or transfer their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), and individuals who need to replace lost or damaged PVCs.”
INEC, however, cautioned against engaging in multiple registrations, stressing that offenders risk sanctions.
The electoral body urged Nigerians to seize the opportunity, noting that voter registration is a vital step toward strengthening democratic participation.
The commission advised the public to reach out via its call centre on 0700-CALL-INEC (0700-2255-4632) or through its short code 4632 for inquiries.
INEC also reassured Nigerians of its dedication to deepening democracy, noting that every eligible voter will have the opportunity to register ahead of the upcoming elections.
