The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has clarified that the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise, starting on July 8 in Anambra, is solely for the Nov. 8 governorship election.
Dr Elizabeth Agwu, Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, made the clarification during a news conference on Thursday in Awka.
Agwu said that the CVR was not applicable to the Senate and House of Assembly bye-elections.
She said that the CVR for the governorship election would commence on July 8 and be concluded on July 17.
According to her, the exercise will run daily from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., including Saturdays but excluding Mondays.
She urged eligible voters in the state to turn out in large numbers to either register afresh or update their biodata as needed.
“Fresh registration must be done physically at designated INEC offices, while data revalidation or corrections can be done online. INEC will not register any person in absentia.
