The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has clarified social media report on the proposed Continuous Voters Registration, (CVR) exercise ahead of 2027 general election.

The report had indicated that the exercise is expected to commence on 27th of May nationwide.

During the exercise, that electorate that want to transfer their voters card or replacement of lost ones, will be privileged to do so.

A statement by the commission however disowned the report insisting that no date has been fixed for the exercise.

The statement, released on Sunday, signed by Rotimi Oyekanmi

Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, stated that “The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) wishes to inform the general public that it has not yet announced any date for the resumption of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR), Transfer and Replacement of lost Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs).

“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.”
