The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on Saturday, ruled out the possibility of extending the ongoing continuous voter’s registration (CVR) exercise, scheduled to end on July 31, 2022.
Leaders of some political parties as well as organizations have called on INEC to extend the on-going Continuous Voter’s Registration (CVR) exercise to enable eligible voters to get registered.
Speaking during an interactive session with journalists in Awka, Anambra state, INEC National Commissioner in charge of Voter Education and Publicity, Barr. Festus Okoye, said it would not be convenient for the Commission to extend the registration exercise.

He noted that the CVR would be brought to an end as earlier scheduled in order to enable the commission carry on with its other constitutional responsibilities.
According to Okoye, the commission would at the end of the exercise scrutinise the voters registers to clean up possible incidents of double registration, print permanent voters cards (PVC), display of voters registers across polling units, among others.
