CVR: INEC warns against multiple registration

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has warned eligible voters against multiple registration during the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise.

INEC’s National Commissioner in-charge of North-East zone, Dr Baba Bila, made the call while monitoring the CVR exercise in some Local Government Areas in Yola on Wednesday.

He said that double registration could lead to the cancellation of both registrations, and urged voters to search for their cards before engaging in another registration.

The Commissioner advised those who have already registered to come and collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to enable them to vote candidates of their choice in the 2023 general elections.

He also advised Nigerians to do the registration at the right time to avoid rush hour.

Bila commended INEC personnel in Adamawa for proper handling and managment of its equipment in the state.

Meanwhile, Bila inspected INEC offices in Yola-South and Yola-North LGAs.
