“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.
