The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Anambra says the commission has registered 4,423 eligible voters in the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise in the state.


The State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Queen Agwu, disclosed this during a briefing on Wednesday in Awka.


The commission registered 2.8 million voters in 2025 before the governorship election in the state.


“We have started the CVR in Anambra, the exercise commenced on January 5 to end on April 17, 2026. 


“In the ongoing second phase of this registration exercise, we have registered a total of 4,423 voters in the state.


“The ongoing exercise is being done rotationally in the 326 wards in the state,” she said.

She said the rotational method would ensure grassroots registration in the state.

She encouraged eligible voters to go to their local governments or the INEC headoffice in the state to register.


The REC cautioned against double registration, saying that the digital system would reject such registration.


“If you have issue with your Permanent Voter Card or registration, it will be sorted out when you complain, don’t go for double registration.


“If you have been captured before don’t go for another capture but update when you have issue with your registration,” she said.
