INEC Extends Continuous Voter Registration Exercise by Two Weeks
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has approved a two-week extension of the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise to allow more eligible Nigerians to register.
The voter registration exercise, which commenced on August 18, 2025, was initially scheduled to end on July 10, 2026. However, the Commission has now extended the deadline to July 24, 2026, following requests from eligible voters seeking additional time to complete their registration.
According to INEC, the extension is aimed at providing more eligible citizens with the opportunity to be captured in the national Register of Voters ahead of future electoral activities.
The Commission said the decision reflects its commitment to ensuring that every eligible Nigerian has a fair and reasonable opportunity to register and participate in the country’s democratic process.
