NGThe Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Nigeria has launched a self-service online voter registration platform starting July 8, aimed at improving accessibility and participation in the electoral process. This initiative allows eligible first-time voters to complete their registration, including biometric data collection, remotely via personal devices without needing to visit INEC offices. The platform includes measures like identity verification and biometric validation to ensure the integrity of the National Register of Voters. While the new system is available, those already in the physical registration process or needing to replace lost cards must still go to INEC centers. INEC has also extended the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) period by two weeks, pushing the deadline to July 26, based on feedback from various stakeholders.
