INEC Displays Voters’ Register In Lagos

The list of newly registered voters in Lagos State has been made public by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Residents were urged by the electoral umpire to review the register for appropriate claims and objections.

Olusegun Agbaje, the resident electoral commissioner, released a statement on Monday through Adenike Oriowo, the public relations officer.

INEC explained that the publication was in tandem with section 19 of the Electoral Act 2022

“This display will be on from Monday, Aug. 15 to Friday, Aug. 20 at the 20 Local Government Area Offices of the Commission in Lagos State,” Agbaje informed.

The official urged registered voters to check for omission, correction and objection regarding information already provided.

The statement said the commission is poised to ensuring a credible voter register for a successful electioneering process early next year.

INEC assured that it was committed to making all votes count so as to consolidate the country’s democracy.

The Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) ended on July 31. Applicants are expected to receive their Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC) before February 2023.
