In a post on its official X account on Monday, INEC confirmed the commencement of the online pre-registration phase on August 18, 2025.
Eligible Nigerians can start their registration online by visiting the portal www.cvr.inecnigeria.org, ahead of the physical registration, which is set to begin on August 25, 2025.
The commission stated, “In-person registration will occur at all 37 state offices and 774 local government area (LGA) offices nationwide to ensure easy access for prospective voters.”
The CVR exercise is open to new voters aged 18 and above, individuals who wish to collect or transfer their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), as well as those needing to replace lost or damaged PVCs.
However, the commission has cautioned against multiple registrations, warning that violators may face penalties.
INEC encouraged Nigerians to take advantage of this opportunity, emphasizing that voter registration is crucial for ensuring inclusive participation in the country’s democratic process.
The commission also provided contact options for the public: the call center at 0700-CALL-INEC (0700-2255-4632) and the short code 4632.
INEC reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening democracy and assured that every eligible voter would have the opportunity to register ahead of the upcoming elections.
