INEC: 203,497 prospective voters registered online

No fewer than 203,497 eligible Nigerians have completed their online pre-registration as prospective voters, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said.

The figure may rise to 259,713 if applications for voter transfer and requests for voter’s cards are considered.

INEC Commissioner for Voter Education Festival Okoye said the commission held a meeting yesterday to consider the ongoing re-registration.

He said: “One week after the commencement of the exercise, 203,497 eligible Nigerians have completed the online pre-registration as fresh voters. The figure rises to 259,713, if applications for voter transfer, requests for replacement of Permanent Voter’s Cards (PVCs), update of voter information record, among others, are included.

“Full details of Week One of the exercise have been uploaded on the commission’s website and social media platforms.”

Okoye said the physical or in-person registration will begin at the state and local government offices nationwide on July 29.

The INEC spokesman also said both online pre-registration and the physical registration would hold simultaneously throughout the duration of the CVR.
