The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has officially launched the 2025 nationwide Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise ahead of the upcoming elections.
In a statement posted on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Friday, INEC revealed that online pre-registration will begin on Monday, August 18, 2025, via the official portal: cvr.inecnigeria.org.
Physical registration will start a week later, on Monday, August 25, 2025, at all INEC Local Government Area offices and designated registration centers across the country. The exercise will run from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Mondays through Fridays.
INEC encouraged all eligible Nigerians who have yet to register to take advantage of this opportunity. The Commission emphasized that the CVR exercise is open not only to new registrants but also to those seeking to transfer their registration, replace lost or damaged Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), or update personal information such as names and dates of birth.
The statement read,
“This exercise is for Nigerians who have attained voting age or those who were unable to register in previous exercises. We encourage all eligible citizens to either begin the process online or visit our offices and designated centers once the physical registration begins.”
Reiterating its commitment to a credible electoral process, INEC stated,
“Our goal is to ensure every eligible Nigerian has the opportunity to exercise their civic right. We are working to make the voter registration process accessible, transparent, and inclusive.”
