Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has commenced Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) in 397 centres of Edo and Ondo states, ahead of the state governorship election.

INEC National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Mr Sam Olumekun, stated this yesterday in Abuja.

He said the online locator for the registration centres had been released for easy identification.

However, Olumekun said that the venue of the exercise in Edo had been shifted to the Ikpoba Okha Local Council office located at 16, Custom Road, off Benin/Auchi Road, Benin, due to the flooding at the state INEC headquarters.

He said that to facilitate easy access to the CVR locations in the two states, the commission had shared the hard copies of detailed names and addresses of the centres with stakeholders.

He said that the locations had also been uploaded to its website and social media platforms.

He added: “A short graphic of the procedure for accessing the registration centres has been uploaded to our website and social media platforms.’’

Olumekun urged all eligible voters in Edo and Ondo, who were not registered to seize the opportunity of the CVR to register.
