The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared that the nationwide Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) will begin with online pre-registration on August 18, 2025.
INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, made the announcement during a courtesy visit by the management team of the National Orientation Agency to the Commission’s headquarters in Abuja.
“The nationwide continuous voter registration is scheduled to commence in about three weeks, with the online pre-registration of voters scheduled for the 18th of August,” Yakubu said.
He revealed that physical (in-person) registration will commence one week after the online exercise begins.
Yakubu explained that the CVR is part of INEC’s wider preparations for the Anambra State governorship election scheduled for November 8, 2025, as well as the 2027 general elections.
During the visit, INEC and the National Orientation Agency (NOA) reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening collaboration on voter education, public awareness, and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the lead-up to the 2027 polls.
The INEC Chairman described the visit as part of the Commission’s ongoing stakeholder engagement efforts, highlighting NOA’s key role in grassroots voter mobilisation and sensitisation.
“I am particularly glad that this meeting is at the instance of the DG in furtherance of the longstanding partnership between INEC and the National Orientation Agency,” Prof. Yakubu said.
Earlier, NOA Director-General Malam Lanre Issa-Onilu stated that the agency is undergoing a significant transformation to better align with and support democratic goals.
He noted that NOA has overhauled its outreach approach by integrating both traditional and digital platforms, including weekly newsletters, AI-powered feedback systems, and a network of more than 818 local offices across the country.
