INEC further noted that in line with the display of the register of voters for claims and objections at local government offices, the commission urged Nigerians, especially those who registered, transferred or updated their information to use this statutory window to verify their details.
The commission also urged them to report inaccuracies and draw attention to ineligible or deceased persons on the register.
