Mr Mobolaji said INEC could get more gadgets and personnel to register every eligible citizens who presented themselves for the registration.
The CSOs urged INEC to magnanimously consider extending the deadline for the exercise in favour of the 2023 general elections.
INEC National Commissioner, Festus Okoye, said that the BVAS would be deployed in the 176,000 polling units across the country.
One registrant said there was the need to extend the continuous voter registration beyond July 31 to accommodate the crowd thronging the centres each day.
On the technology already in place for future elections, the INEC chairman said: “We are confident that the BVA machines will function optimally during the 2023 elections.”
A media aide to the governor said the gesture would enable civil servants and members of the public to either obtain or revalidate their PVCs.
The group urged INEC to extend the exercise because of the large numbers of prospective registrants, especially in the South–East.
The INEC’s spokesperson in the state said in a statement on Monday in Katsina that the registration will now end at 5:00 p.m. instead of 4:00 p.m.
“The gunmen fired sporadically into the air to disperse registrants and registration officials.”

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says fresh registration in the ongoing nationwide Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) has hit 10,487,972 as of July 4.
