The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has commenced the Nationwide Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise, starting with the online pre-registration phase, the commission announced today.
Eligible Nigerians can now register online via the official portal, [www.cvr.inecnigeria.org](http://www.cvr.inecnigeria.org), ahead of the in-person registration set to begin on Monday, August 25, 2025, reports The Guardian.
The physical registration will be conducted at all 37 state offices and 774 local government area (LGA) offices nationwide.
“The CVR exercise is open to new voters aged 18 and above, those who wish to collect or transfer their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), and individuals who need to replace lost or damaged PVCs,” INEC stated via its official X handle.
The commission advised the public against multiple registrations, warning that violators would face penalties. INEC also encouraged eligible citizens to use the opportunity to register, emphasizing that voter registration is critical for inclusive participation in Nigeria’s democratic process.
For inquiries or assistance, INEC urged the public to contact its call centre on 0700-CALL-INEC (0700-2255-4632) or via its short code 4632.
INEC assured that it remains committed to consolidating democracy in Nigeria and ensuring that every eligible voter has access to registration ahead of upcoming elections.
