The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC in Oyo State has extended the hours of registration in the ongoing Continuous Voters Registration, CVR to eight hours starting from 9’0 clock in the morning till 5’0 clock in the evening daily.
This is contained in a statement in Ibadan by the INEC Administrative Secretary, Alhaji Biodun Onikate-Amosu.
Alhaji Onikate-Amosu explained that the ongoing CVR would be conducted for registrants during the weekend, in addition to the extension of hours from six to eight on daily basis.
He confirmed that the exercise, which is the fourth and the last quarter of the CVR will come to an end on 31st July.
Alhaji Onikate-Amosu urged those who have just reached the age of eighteen years and other Nigerians who have not registered to visit INEC offices in local government areas.
He added that those who wish to replace their damaged/defaced or lost Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs, or transfer their vote from one polling unit to another need not visit the commission’s office but could perform those activities online via: cvr.inecnigeria.gov.
The INEC Administrative Secretary appealed to Nigerians to desist from multiple registrations in the remaining two weeks of the exercise, as such amounts to electoral fraud, which is punishable under the law.
