The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Lagos, has urged Lagosians to partake in the Continuous Voters Registration Exercise, CVR, which commenced on 28th June 2021, and expected to end on Sunday 31st July 2022.
The Lagos State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Olusegun Agbaje in a Press Statement admonished all eligible citizens that are yet to register to visit any of the CVR Centres at the Lagos State INEC office on 2, Birrel Road, Sabo-Yaba, the 20 Local Government Areas of the State or scheduled registration areas wards to do so as the Commission is ready to capture all eligible citizens before the end of the exercise.
Agbaje added that voters who have the Permanent Voters Cards issued by the Commission since 2011 are okay, as the PVCs do not expire and no need for revalidation as the PVC will work very well with the Commission’s new technology code named Bimodal Voter Accreditation system, BIVAS.
This was used in the Anambra,Ekiti and Osun State governorship elections recently conducted by the commission.
He appealed to those who are not registering for the first time or do not have any issue with PVC or finger print during Accreditation in any past election not to visit the designated physical CVR centres but address transfer and PVC incidences like damage, deface or loss on the commission’s online portal to reduce the crowd.
