INEC DEBUNKS RUMOURS ON VOTER REGISTRATION RESUMPTION DATE
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has refuted claims that it has scheduled a date for the resumption of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise, including services such as voter card transfers and replacements for lost Permanent Voter Cards.
This clarification was made in a statement released on Sunday by Rotimi Oyekanmi, Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, via the social media platform X.
The commission urged the public to disregard a widely circulated anonymous message falsely stating that the CVR will resume on May 27, 2025.
INEC emphasized that no official date has been announced for the resumption of the exercise.
The Commission emphasised that any official information regarding the CVR will be made public in due course through its verified social media platforms and other official channels.
“The Independent National Electoral Commission wishes to inform the general public that it has not yet announced any date for the resumption of the Continuous Voter Registration, Transfer and Replacement of lost Permanent Voters’ Cards.
“The Commission therefore urges the public to disregard the fake, anonymous statement making the rounds, claiming that the CVR and other associated services will resume on 27th May 2025.
“In line with its tradition, the Commission will publicly announce the date for the resumption of the CVR at the appropriate time, the full details of which will also be shared via our official social media platforms,” the statement read.
