By Wed Jul 14 2021 The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said it will commence physical registration of voters in its state and local government area offices after consulting stakeholders and reviewing the security situation across the country. INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu announced this yesterday in Abuja at a meeting with Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) which, among others, discussed issues concerning the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR). According to him, the commission has already configured enough machines and commenced deployment nationwide for further training of officials in readiness for the commencement of the physical registration exercise. “The commission is aware that not all Nigerians have access to computers, smart phones or internet connectivity to register online. Accordingly, we have repeatedly assured every eligible registrant that there will also be an opportunity for physical or in-person registration at designated centres.
