The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has ruled out the possibility of extending the Continuous Voter’s Registration (CVR) expected to end today.
The INEC National Commissioner, Voter Education and Publicity, Barr. Festus Okoye disclosed this in a chat with newsmen in Awka, Anambra State capital, on Saturday.
He said the exercise, scheduled to end today, July 31, 2022, would not be extended,as the electoral body had in many ways intervened to ensure all intending voters are captured.
Okoye said, “Few weeks we isolated places to carry out intervention; we took machines to markets, churches, NUJ, NYSC orientation camp and other places due to large concentration.
This helped to mitigate the surging crowd. For complaints over performance of our staff, we developed a compliant desk for people to voice out their complaints”.
Report making rounds,has it that there has been calls for the INEC to extend the exercise as many Nigerians may be disenfranchised over inability to get registered.
