Phase One of the Continuous Voter Registration, or CVR, exercise has begun, according to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Osun State.
INEC added that the action came after the Commission’s National Headquarters issued a circular on Friday.
The development was in keeping with the agreed national timeframe for the ongoing CVR, according to a statement released on Saturday by Public Affairs Officer Musa Olurode on behalf of Dr. Mutiu Agboke, the Osun Resident Electoral Commissioner.
It further stated that in advance of upcoming elections, the program would guarantee that all eligible citizens had the chance to register, update their information, or confirm their records.
