INEC PRESS STATEMENT. The Independent National Commission (INEC) has noted with concern the agitation in some quarters for an extension of the second phase of the continuous voter registration (CVR), which ends on Monday, August 25th, 2014. This phase of the exercise, which commenced on Wednesday, August 20the, involved the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and 11 states namely yobe, bauchi, jigawa, sokoto, kwara, anambra, ebony I, on do, Oyo, delta and cross river.much as the commissioned is eager to ensure that all legitimate persons who are yet to register as voters have the opportunity to do so, it is logistically impossible to extend this phase of the CVR beyond its scheduled dead line. (I.e Monday, August 25th, 2014) But in order to give fair chance to legitimate registrantd , the commission will, on a date to be shortly announced, set up registration points at its Local Government Area (LGA) offices where people yet to do so can go to register. (1) If a previously registered person has relocated from where he/she registered. He/She should simply apply for transfer ofi the registration data to the new location, as provided for by the law. (2) If anyone found his/ her name on the register displayed ahead of the distribution of permanent voter cards (PVCs). but was unable to collect his/her PVC during the distribution period such a person should go to respective LGA office of INEC where the card will be awaiting collection by now.
