Ahead of the governorship election in Kogi and Bayelsa states, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will conduct the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) in the two states.
The registration, according to the commission, would begin today and end on September 7.
The governorship elections in Kogi and Bayelsa states will hold on November 21 and December 5.
The CVR will take place at the local government area level. It will also begin daily (during the scheduled six days of the registration) from 8a.m. to 4p.m.
INEC, in its in house bulletin, said: “The six-day exercise will afford three groups of eligible registrants to register to vote.”
The commission explained that the registration is for those who were eligible but did not register before the 2015 general elections.
INEC added that it is also for “those who are eligible but whose names are not in the Voters’ Register” and “those who have attained the age of 18 years since the last Voter Registration exercise”.
