The Kwara State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged its members and supporters to take advantage of the ongoing online enrollment by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) through its Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise to register new voters of voting age across the state.

The party, in a statement by its state Publicity Secretary, Olusegun Olusola Adewara, in Ilorin on Tuesday, said, “PDP members across the state and particularly critical stakeholders, party officials and aspirants should take this exercise as topmost priority in their various constituencies,” describing the excercise as a vital component of the #RescueKwara# struggle for 2027.

The statement urged members to prioritise the process and equip themselves with the voters’ cards to enable them to vote in the 2027 elections to right the wrongs occasioned by the current misgovernance and absentee leadership in the state.

“We want to remind our members that the PVC issued by INEC remains the only legal instrument potential voters need to correct the current insecurity, hardship and absentee leadership that have been holding sway in Kwara since 2019. Our leader and President of the 8th Senate, HE Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, reinforced this during his last interactions with stakeholders from across the state during his last homecoming.

“As such, all our members, particularly party stakeholders, officials and those aspiring for one elective office or the other, are enjoined to prioritise compliance in their various constituencies.

“New voters can pre-register on the INEC portal via this web address cvr.inecnigeria.org.

Adewara disclosed that some features on the portal allow registered voters to update their personal information or transfer their voter registration to another polling unit. He emphasised that new voters are only required to fill out and upload their forms on the portal after entering their biodata and required documents. After this, they are expected to visit an INEC state or local government office to provide their fingerprints and other details, completing the registration process and obtaining their voter’s card.

“We are by this statement calling on all members, supporters, aspirants and all support groups of PDP in Kwara to go out and register new members and particularly youths who have just transitioned to voting age to register in the ongoing INEC CVR to ensure our people are not only prepared in talking but also prepared with actions capable to effect the #RescueKwara vision aimed at returning good governance and sense of security for our people,” he added.
