The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said it is considering extending the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise.
The National Chairman of commission, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, made this known in a tweet on INEC’s official handle on Saturday.
Yakubu stated that the commission has heard Nigerians’ requests concerning the extension of CVR registration, adding that the agency will soon make a decision on the matter.
He also assured Nigerians that they will be able to register to vote in the 2023 elections, stating that their vote will count.
The tweet reads: “We have heard your requests loud & clear. You will soon hear from us on the extension of CVR registration.
“Please assure me that you will register, pick your PVCs, and Vote. I also assure you that your vote will count.”
His reaction followed calls from the Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room, a coalition of Civil Society Organisations for the body to extend the registration scheduled to end on June 30.
