The Christian Association of Nigeria,CAN, in the 19 Northern states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has urged christians to participate actively in the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise being conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by its chairman, Rev. Yakubu Pam, the association stressed that voter registration is the “gateway to participating in the elections and having a say in who leads the country at all levels.
“As responsible citizens and followers of Christ, we have a moral and civic duty to contribute meaningfully to the future of our nation,” the statement read. “One of the most effective ways to do this is through active participation in the democratic process, beginning with voter registration.”
Rev. Pam urged Christians who have not previously registered, as well as those who have changed their locations since the last elections, to take advantage of the ongoing exercise.
The call comes as INEC intensifies awareness on the CVR process, reminding eligible Nigerians that voter registration and PVC collection remain critical in ensuring broad participation in the 2027 polls.
