Expose ineligible voters on our register, INEC tells Anambra residents

With less than two months to the November 6 governorship election in Anambra State, the Independent National Electoral Commission on Friday called on residents to report ineligible persons who registered in the Continuous Voter Registration exercise.

The directive came as the commission displayed the preliminary voters’ register drawn from the CVR exercise in the 326 Registration Areas.

The Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Rotimi Oyekanmi, in a statement, said the display of the voters’ register was in line with the timetable approved by the commission for the election.

He, said, “This is to allow for claims and objections by members of the public.”

INEC had suspended physical registration of voters in Anambra State on September 5, 2021 in line with Section 9(5) of the 2010 Electoral Act.

The commission had also said it would resolve claims and objections, clean up the data, print the PVCs for collection by registrants and compile the register for the 5,720 polling units.

“Stakeholders are invited to carefully go through the register and draw the commission’s attention to any noticed error or ineligible person,” Oyekanmi said.
