The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said it would not extend Sunday\u2019s deadline for the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) ahead of the 2023 general elections.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\nMr Rotimi Lawrence Oyekanmi, the chief press secretary to the INEC chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, in an interview in Abuja said that the commission had not taken any decision on the call for the extension of the deadline.<\/div>\n
\n\u201cThe commission has done all that is required to ensure the success of the exercise, and activities on it would be suspended on July 31, except the collection of already printed voters\u2019 cards.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t forget that this phase was supposed to have been suspended on June 30 before it was extended by one month to July 31.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe commission, apart from increasing the machines for registration, also extended the closing hours to 5pm daily and included Saturdays and Sundays,\u201d Oyekanmi said.<\/p>\n

He also said the commission had the mandate to clean up double or multiple registrations.<\/p>\n

Another official said Nigerians should know that the exercise was not concluded but suspended till after the general elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to clean up the register and do other procedures, including printing the permanent voters\u2019 cards (PVCs) and distribute them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe commission also has to prepare for the elections, printing the ballot papers, results sheets and other documents.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce the general elections are over, the commission would re-open the processes for new registration and other related activities,\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n

He also said those involved in multiple registrations would be declared as people without voters\u2019 cards.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome may want to challenge that, but there are records of biometric and other details of what every registrant has,\u201d he added.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
