This announcement was made available via INEC’s official Twitter handle, reinforcing the commission’s commitment to inclusive and credible electoral processes.
According to the statement released, online pre-registration will kick off on August 18, 2025, through the official registration portal: https://cvr.inecnigeria.org. This step is designed to ease the registration process by allowing citizens to input their personal data and book appointments online before heading to designated centres for biometric capture.
Furthermore, in-person registration will commence on August 25, 2025, at all INEC Local Government Area (LGA) offices nationwide and other designated registration centres. The registration will run Monday to Friday, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
INEC emphasized the importance of voter registration as a fundamental step in strengthening democracy, stating:
“Your vote starts with registration. Don’t miss your opportunity to register.”
