The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has dismissed circulating rumours that it has fixed a date for the resumption of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise, as well as related services such as voter transfer and the replacement of lost Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
This clarification was made in a statement released on Sunday via X (formerly Twitter) by Rotimi Oyekanmi, Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman.
INEC urged the public to disregard a viral anonymous message falsely claiming that the CVR will resume on May 27, 2025. The Commission firmly stated that no date has been set for the resumption of the exercise.
“The Independent National Electoral Commission wishes to inform the general public that it has not yet announced any date for the resumption of the Continuous Voter Registration, Transfer and Replacement of lost Permanent Voter Cards,” the statement read.
INEC assured Nigerians that any official updates regarding the CVR or related services will be communicated in due course through its verified social media handles and other official channels.
