The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC says that the Continuous Voter Registration, CVR remains suspended.

A statement by the National Commissioner and Chairman Information and Voter Education Committee, Mr Festus Okoye says that barely 24 hours after the suspension of voter registration, the attention of the Commission was drawn to an online site urging Nigerians to enroll for “VOTER CARD (PVC)” registration claiming that the Federal Government has approved individual VOTER CARD (PVC) registration online to avoid unnecessary crowd in the “NIMC” CENTERS.

According to the statement, the Commission states that the site is not linked to the Commission and the link/portal is from a dubious source.

It says that INEC is the only body constitutionally and legally mandated to conduct the registration of persons qualified to vote in any election in Nigeria and to update and revise the register when the need arises.

It also states that the Commission is solely responsible for organizing, undertaking, and supervising national elections in the country and does not share this responsibility with anybody or organization.

It advises members of the public not to succumb to the antics of online scammers.

It added that the Commission has concluded the Continuous Voter Registration nationwide and does not need to open an additional site or portal for the purposes of registration of voters.
