The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says the current nationwide Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise will resume for its third and final phase on Monday, May 11.
On April 17, the commission suspended the second phase of the exercise to allow the Commission to clean up the register after its publication for claims and objections by registrants.
Mohammed Kudu Haruna Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, says in a statement that the third phase of the CVR, which begins on Monday, May 11, will end on Friday, July 10.
“During this period, eligible citizens who have attained the age of 18, as well as those who were unable to register during the earlier phases, should seize this opportunity to do so.
“Similarly, registered voters who wish to transfer their registration, replace lost or damaged Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), or correct their biodata, are advised to access the Commission’s dedicated online portal at https://cvr.inecnigeria.org or visit INEC State and Local Government Area offices nationwide.
“In continuation of the process, the Commission will display the Register of Voters for claims and objections from Thursday, 23rd July to Wednesday, 29th July 2026. This statutory exercise provides an important opportunity for citizens to scrutinise the register and assist the Commission in ensuring its accuracy, completeness, and credibility.
“The Commission reassures Nigerians that all necessary arrangements have been concluded for the smooth conduct of the exercise. We once again appeal to all eligible citizens to present themselves for registration and to play their part in strengthening the foundation of our electoral process,” the statement reads.
