The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed March 12 to March 19 for the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) for Osun and Ekiti governorship elections says INEC Director (Voter Registration) Emmanuel Akem at a Stakeholders’ Forum on Thursday in Abuja.

According to him, this will enable the commission to accommodate all complaints that may arise from voter registration before the governorship elections.

He said that the commission would use Registration Area Officers (RAOs) for the registration at ward levels.

Akem added that INEC was looking at the possibility of using mobile platforms to carry out the registration.

He said that the CVR would correct some of the anomalies detected in the 2010 voter register, stressing that the CVR was not for those that could not register in 2010.

He, however, noted that those who could not register at the ward could come to the INEC Local Government offices to register.

The director also said that the commission would comply with the Electoral Act that places N100,000 fine on any person involved in multiple registrations.
