The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced plans to release details on the resumption of nationwide Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) in the next twenty-four hours.
The update was given on Wednesday by the INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, at the second regular consultative meeting with media executives at the commission’s conference room in Abuja.
He added that INEC is also set to conduct bye-elections to fill various vacancies for elective positions in the country.
Yakubu said INEC officials had already met on Tuesday to finalize discussions on the two activities, and their conclusions would be made public in the next 24 hours.
“I cannot conclude my Remarks without briefing you on the conduct of outstanding bye-elections and the resumption of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR). I am glad to announce that the Commission is now in a position to conduct the bye-elections and to resume the nationwide CVR. The Commission met yesterday and we are finalising the details of the two activities which will be made public in the next 24 hours. As usual we look forward to your support,” he said.
