 The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, says it will resume nationwide continuous voter registration, CVR, February 2025.


It said the exercise would commence at the LGA level and later extend to registration areas.


The Commission’s Secretary, Rose Oriaran-Anthony, in a memo dated November 20, 2024, charged Resident Electoral Commissioners to make some arrangements for the exercise.


“Kindly provide the following information for adequate preparation for the exercise: Status of INEC Voter Enrolment Device (IVED) and accessories in the state.


“Status of both coloured and black/white heavy-duty printers and availability of CVR Forms/materials.


“The commission is considering commencing the exercise at Local Government Area (LGA) level and later devolve to Registration Area (RA) level.


“The state offices are expected to identify and select staff that will work as voter registration officials.


“You are to please prepare the information of uncollected Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) to facilitate the printing of the Register of uncollected PVCs for display during the exercise,” the memo read.


Recall that in July 2022, the electoral body suspended the CVR exercise ahead of the 2023 general election.


However, it conducted voter registration exercises in states in which off-cycle elections took place.
