The Independent National Electoral Commission will commence its voter’s registration on Monday 28th of June, 2021.
This was made known by the INEC chairman, Prof. Mahmoud Yakubu, in a statement released on Thursday, the 1st of April, 2021.
It stated that the registration was delayed due to the post-election preoccupation particularly the elections held in 2019.
INEC further explained that there was a need to create systems that will ensure safer CVR exercise in line with the COVID-19 pandemic which led it to create an online registration portal for new registrants to begin registration.
It also revealed that there was a need to expand voting centres and citizens access to it and also introduce new voter registration equipment and technology.
