“Consequently, the physical registration of voters will now commence on Monday 26th July 2021.
“Online registrants that have scheduled appointments from 19th July 2021 to 23rd July 2021 will have their appointments rescheduled,” Okoye said.
He recalled that on Tuesday 13th July 2021, the commission met with resident electoral commissioners and noted that the commencement of physical registration of voters scheduled for Monday 19th July 2021 might be affected by public holidays.
He said: “Also facing the prospect of interruption of their registration schedules are some of the online registrants who have scheduled their appointments for the completion of their registrations on dates likely to clash with the same public holidays.
“It is important to emphasise that this CVR will take place over a period of one year.
“The commission assures all Nigerians that no citizen eligible to register as a voter will be left behind.”
