2027 Election: INEC Resumes CVR in Oyo
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will resume the third phase of the Continuous Voters Registration (CVR) across the 33 local government areas of Oyo State on May 11.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Oyo, Prof. Adeniran Tella, made this known in a statement issued in Ibadan on Wednesday.
According to Tella, the third phase of the CVR, which will end on July 10, is for the online pre-registration and physical registration across the state.
He said that the exercise was in line with the 2026 approved timetable and would also accommodate the rotational movement of INEC Voter Enrollment Device (IVED) machines across all the 33 registration areas of INEC LGAs’ offices.
The REC said the timing for the exercise, including the rotational movement of IVED machines, would be between 9:a.m and 3:00 p.m. daily, excluding weekends and public holidays.
He also stated that prospective registrants could visit the commission’s state office and any of its offices across the 33 local government areas within the stipulated time frame for the exercise.
Tella also urged all eligible citizens to take full advantage of the last phase of the CVR to register.
He added that those who wanted to change their polling units or voting state should take the opportunity at hand.
The REC urged registrants who had not yet collected their Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC) to do the same.
