\n
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed a new date for the commencement of the physical registration of voters and the scheduled appointments by online registrants in the ongoing Continuous Voters Registration (CVR).<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\nINEC\u2019s National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee (IVEC), Festus Okoye, said this on Friday in Abuja at the end of the commission\u2019s management meeting.<\/div>\n
\n\u201cWith the declaration of Tuesday 20th and Wednesday 21st July 2021, as public holidays by the federal government, the date scheduled for the commencement of physical registration have to be adjusted.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsequently, the physical registration of voters will now commence on Monday 26th July 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnline registrants that have scheduled appointments from 19th July 2021 to 23rd July 2021 will have their appointments rescheduled,\u201d Okoye said.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cAlso 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important to emphasise that this CVR will take place over a period of one year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe commission assures all Nigerians that no citizen eligible to register as a voter will be left behind.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
