INEC urges voters to transfer registration to new location ahead of Sunday deadline
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has urged voters to transfer their voter registration to their new location before the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) ends.
In a statement on its official X page on Thursday, INEC said voters can easily transfer their voter registration to their new location online or by visiting a CVR centre.
“Have you moved to a new location? Your vote should move with you. Don’t let your old polling location decide your future. Apply for a Transfer of Registration and vote where you now live either by visiting any CVR registration centre or using the online portal via: cvr.inecnigeria.org,” INEC said.
The electoral umpire also urged Nigerians not to do fresh registration but to transfer their voter registration to their new locations before the end of the CVR on July 26.
“Don’t register again. Simply apply for a Transfer of Registration. CVR closes: Sunday, 26 July 2026. Time: 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. (including weekends),” INEC said.
