Just In: INEC Extends Registration Deadline By 60 Days

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has agreed to extend the ongoing Continuous Voters’ Registration (CVR) exercise by 60 days.

The exercise was initially slated to end in June 2022 before the calls to extend the CVR exercise came, following the increase in registrants.

While briefing lawmakers on Wednesday, the Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Electoral Matters, Aishatu Jibril Dukku, disclosed to  her colleagues that the Commission had agreed to extend the CVR by 60 days.

“The Committee held a meeting with INEC yesterday (Tuesday) and they agreed to extend the CVR, all our resolutions were approved,” she told members of the House at plenary on Wednesday.
