According to reports, within the initial seven hours of the CVR exercise, approximately 69,376 Nigerians successfully pre-registered online. This rapid response underscores the public’s eagerness to participate in the electoral process and the effectiveness of INEC’s online platform in facilitating voter registration.
The CVR initiative aims to provide eligible Nigerians with the opportunity to register or update their voter information conveniently. By leveraging digital platforms, INEC seeks to increase voter participation and ensure a more inclusive electoral process. The ease of online registration is particularly beneficial for individuals in remote areas or those with limited access to physical registration centers.

However, it’s important to note that completing the online registration is only the first step. Applicants are required to visit designated INEC centers to complete their registration, which includes biometric data capture. This two-step process ensures the integrity and accuracy of the voter register.
The resurgence of interest in voter registration also highlights the public’s growing awareness of their civic responsibilities and the importance of participating in the democratic process. As the electoral landscape continues to evolve, initiatives like the CVR are pivotal in fostering a more engaged and informed electorate.
