Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has approved the creation of 10 additional Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) centres in each state of the federation and Federal Capital Territory, FCT.

These bring to 672 additional centres created across Nigeria since the commencement of the exercise in April this year.

The Commission said it decided to increase the number of registration centres to enable every eligible citizen register in the on-going CVR exercise ahead of the 2019 general elections.

INEC began the CVR exercise on April 27 in line with the Electoral Act (2010 as amended).
