The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will commence the nationwide Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise with online pre-registration on August 18, 2025.
INEC chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, disclosed this on Wednesday, July 30, when he received the Director-General of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), Malam Lanre Issa-Onilu, and senior officials of the Agency on a courtesy visit at INEC Headquarters in Abuja.
“The nationwide continuous voter registration is scheduled to commence in about three weeks, with the online pre-registration of voters scheduled for the 18th of August,” Prof. Yakubu said.
He further revealed that the physical (in-person) registration exercise will begin a week later.
“In-person registration begins on the 25th of August, 2025,” he added.
Prof. Yakubu said the CVR exercise is part of INEC’s broader preparations ahead of the Anambra State governorship election slated for November 8, 2025, and the 2027 general elections.
According to the statement released by INEC on X,
“The visit aimed to reinforce the longstanding partnership between INEC and NOA and deepen collaboration in voter education, civic engagement, and strategic public communication ahead of the upcoming Anambra Governorship Election and the 2027 General Elections.”
