The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has
announced that online voter pre-registration will be suspended by May 30th.
The INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, made this known at
the Commission’s quarterly meeting with Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) on
Wednesday in Abuja.
“Both the online pre-registration as well as the physical
registration at designated centres are taking place simultaneously.
The INEC boss explained that online pre-registrants will need
time to schedule appointments to complete their registration physically at
designated centres hence, the Commission has decided to suspend the online
registration in the next three weeks(May 30th)
According to him, this will enable the online registrants to
complete their registration physically at the designated centres before the
exercise is suspended on June 30.
“This will enable the Commission to clean up the
registration data, print the Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) and compile the
register ahead of the 2023 General Election,” Yakubu noted.
The INEC Chairman also announced that the Commission would
by next week finalise the regulations and guidelines for the conduct of the
forthcoming Ekiti and Osun Governorship elections and the 2023 General Election.
