INEC To Publish Voters Register Soon- Yakoub
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has disclaimed as untenable reports that it has failed to display the voters’ register in disobedience of extant laws.
The electoral umpire added that the Comprehensive Voters Register will soon be published across all wards of the country.
“We wish to assure Nigerians that the commission will display the comprehensive register in all the 8,809 wards and 774 local government areas/area councils nationwide as envisaged in Section 19(1) of the Electoral Act 2022.
“This will integrate fresh voters registered under the last CVR exercise to the existing register of over 84 million voters.
INEC added that a date will be announced after the BVAS has completely eliminated all double registration. 
“The date will be announced as soon the commission completes the ongoing Automated Biometric Identification System, ABIS, to weed out all double/multiple as well as ineligible registrants. We appeal to some of our friends in civil society to be guided accordingly”, he added.
