The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has refuted circulating reports that the commission wants to resume the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) for the replacement of lost Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) on May 27, 2025.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Chief Press Secretary to the Chairman Rotimi Oyekanmi, urged the public to discard the misleading report.
He said, “The attention of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been drawn to a misleading report making the rounds, that we will resume the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) and replacement of lost Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) on 27th May 2025.
“The report is untrue. The Commission has not announced any resumption date for the CVR. We appeal to the public to disregard the false narrative.”
