INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has extended the Phase II of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise for seven days in twelve states.

The exercise shall run from Monday 22nd to Sunday 28th September 2014, between 8.00am and 4.00pm at the Local Government Area level of each of the states, namely; Anambra, Bauchi, Cross River, Delta, Ebonyi, FCT, Jigawa, Kwara, Ondo, Oyo, Sokoto and Yobe.

According to a release from INEC bulletin, the extension of Phase II of the Continous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise is occasioned by the large turn out of eligible voters and the heavy rains that coincided with the exercise which took place from 20th to 25th August 2014.

Eligible voters in the affected states are therefore advised to take advantage of this extension to register in order to vote in the 2015 General Elections.
