INEC denies setting voter registration date

INEC says 171 associations have applied for political party registration, with shortlisting of qualified groups underway.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has debunked reports claiming that the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) and replacement of lost Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) will resume on May 27, 2025.  

In a statement released on Tuesday, Rotimi Oyekanmi, Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, described the report as misleading and false. 

He clarified that the Commission has not announced any date for the resumption of voter registration.

“We appeal to the public to disregard the false narrative,” the statement read.  

The clarification comes amid growing anticipation for the reopening of voter registration ahead of upcoming elections. 

However, the Commission urged Nigerians to rely only on official sources for accurate information regarding the electoral process.
