The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has dismissed speculation that it has announced the date for resumption of Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) and replacement of lost Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) on 27th May 2025.
Rotimi Oyekanmi, the Chief Press Secretary to the Commission’s Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, in a statement, described the report as untrue, emphasising that the Commission has not announced any resumption date for the CVR.
While appealing to the public to disregard the false narrative, the Commission noted: “The attention of INEC has been drawn to a misleading report making the rounds, that we will resume the CVR and replacement of lost 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,” the Commission noted in the statement.
