The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has resumed the nationwide Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise, marking the start of its second phase.
The resumption, which took effect on Monday, follows the conclusion of the first phase, which formally ended on December 10, 2025.
INEC had initially launched online pre-registration for the exercise on August 18, 2025, before commencing in-person registration at designated centres nationwide on August 25, 2025.
In a statement in December, the commission disclosed that 9,891,801 Nigerians initiated online pre-registration during the first phase.
Of this number, 2,572,054 registrations were fully completed nationwide as of November 28, 2025, comprising 1,503,832 online completions and 1,068,222 physical registrations.
INEC said the interval between the two phases was used to carry out statutory activities required by law, including the display of the register of voters for claims and objections.
