The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has issued a warning against underage and multiple registrations ahead of the commencement of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise on August 18 in Kebbi State.
Speaking at a press briefing on Wednesday in Birnin Kebbi, the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for Kebbi State, Alhaji Abubakar Sarkin-Pawa-Dambo, emphasized that the commission would not tolerate any form of illegal registration.
“INEC will not condone multiple registrations, registration by proxy, underage registration, or any other unlawful attempts to register as voters,” he stated.
He also noted that those who lost or misplaced their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), have mutilated cards, changed addresses, or need corrections to their personal information, such as name or date of birth, are eligible for the physical registration.
The registration exercise will take place at all INEC area offices across Kebbi State from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. daily, excluding weekends and public holidays.
