LAGOS AUGUST 2ND (NEWSRANGERS)-The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced that the nationwide Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise will commence with online pre-registration on August 18, 2025.
INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, disclosed this during a courtesy visit by National Orientation Agency’s management team to the INEC headquarters in Abuja.
“The nationwide continuous voter registration is scheduled to commence in about three weeks, with the online pre-registration of voters scheduled for the 18th of August,” Yakubu said.
He disclosed that the physical (in-person) registration exercise will begin a week later.
Yakubu said the CVR exercise is part of INEC’s broader preparations ahead of the Anambra State governorship election slated for November 8, 2025, and the 2027 general elections.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the National Orientation Agency (NOA) during the visit renewed their commitment to deepening collaboration on voter education, public enlightenment, and the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) tools ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The INEC Chairman described the meeting as a continuation of the commission’s stakeholder engagement strategy, stressing the critical role NOA plays in grassroots voter sensitisation.
“I am particularly glad that this meeting is at the instance of the DG in furtherance of the longstanding partnership between INEC and the National Orientation Agency,” Prof. Yakubu said.
Earlier, NOA Director-General, Malam Lanre Issa-Onilu, said the agency was undergoing a major transformation aimed at repositioning it to better serve democratic objectives.
He said the agency had revamped its outreach strategy using both traditional and digital tools, including weekly newsletters, AI-driven feedback mechanisms, and a network of over 818 local offices nationwide.
