I totally concur with INEC on this one. Even if you extend it till next year many people will still look the other way while the serious minded once are busy getting their own. They are only active in social media, reading opinions of different people and conducting irrelevant polls just to make uneccesary noise, wishing to have the best leadership from Eldorado and not the one that will emerge from their active participation on the polling stations.

And it appears the empty noise is common from the so called acclaimed educated, polished and informed ethnic regions in the country given by the number of registered voters per region.

To get the registered as never been easy for the past 2weeks have been going to Inec office at alimisho local government ikotun

It has always been
Corruption
Corruption
Corruption

The question is why can't Inec make this thing as easy as jamb registration?
After all it deals with almost the same process?
Biometrics and capturing


The arrongance of all this inec staff no be here

It a man no man thing


The only reason why people are registering for pvc is just because it the only valid national means of identification

Just in case you need to process an official document

National � card is nothing to write home about
International passport is expensive
Voters card no easy

This country is a shithole
I registered because of any official processing of documents not to vote for one nonentity

People would have an entire year to perform an exercise, but would rather wait till the last day and be struggling with the deadline angry

I'm sometimes also guilty sha grin

I won't blame some of them, the people INEC employ to carry out the registration are the ones making things difficult.

you appear to be the one lying to yourself.
Do you know the population of South easterners in Lagos alone, not to talk of places like Kano and rest.
Now compare it with population of aboki in other regions.

As the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ended yesterday, after an earlier extension to enable more eligible voters partake in the exercise, the electoral body has insisted that there would be no further shift in the deadline of the process.

The Commission, however, said the exercise would continue after next year’s general elections.

According to Mr. Rotimi Oyekanmi, Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, this is due to the time required to, among other things, undertake all the backend activities needed to produce the PVCs.


He said those who were unable to register during the period and even despite the extension, would have to wait until after next year’s general elections when the CVR would resume, adding that the Commission has registered 13.6 million new voters since April last year, when the process started.
“It was in the Commission’s bid to enable as many Nigerians as possible obtain their PVCs that the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise was launched on April 27, 2017.
“It was the first time in the history of the Commission that the CVR would be implemented on a truly continuous basis, as envisaged under the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended). Before now, INEC carried out voter registration only at particular periods,” he told The Guardian.
On allegations that some prospective registrants had to tip INEC staff to get registered at all or fast-track the process, Oyekanmi said: “The CVR is free of charge and Nigerians are not required to tip INEC staff members. Anytime we receive reports of this nature, we investigate. If any staff member is found culpable, sanctions will be applied.
“I must say that in some of the cases that we investigated, it turned out that those collecting money were not INEC workers, but touts who cashed in on the situation to make quick money for themselves. Some of them have been arrested and handed over to the Police.
“However, I want Nigerians to also know that INEC has very hardworking workers who are putting in a lot of efforts to ensure that the Commission achieves its objectives. They are often unsung, but without them, the Commission cannot achieve anything.”
There was a further upsurge of eligible voters seeking registration during the last week in many centres across the country.
In virtually all the centres, the crowd was unprecedented, with many looking forlorn, as it dawned on them that they might not be registered and hence not be able to vote in the coming elections. Some of them vented their frustrations on INEC officials, who they blamed for their inability to get registered.
But Oyekanmi attributed the recent upsurge in the number of people turning up at the registration centres to the rush to beat the August 31 deadline for the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise.
On collection of PVCs, he said that is not a problem at all our centres, compared to those seeking to register, adding: “If you go to the right centre, your PVC will be waiting for you. But if you go to the wrong centre, you will not be able to get your PVC.”
Although, the collection of PVCs continues until one week to next year’s general elections, he, however, urged registered voters yet to collect their PVCs not to wait until the deadline draws close, as experienced during the CVR, before they do so, saying the earlier, the better.
He disclosed that the Commission was intensifying efforts to sensitise Nigerians on the need for those who have registered, but yet to collect their PVCs to do so, working in partnership with major stakeholders, including civil society organisations, religious bodies and leaders and the traditional rulers, just as he said all registration centres were also making PVCs available for collection.
He added: “Nigerians can also check their status on our website via http://voterreg.inecnigeria.org and follow the instructions.
Alternatively, they can check by sending an SMS in the following format- State, Last Name and Voter Identification Number (VIN) to 0817 164 6879. They will receive a response within 20 minutes.

You can't close the registration as long as humans exist. Those who turns 18 next year will not be allowed to register right?

INEC and their irregularities! Cause I must assure you that so much irregularities marred this registration exercise!

It's obvious that alot of citizens are aware of their right but INEC is denying them that right!

Right from last year, they made it difficult for people to register!

It is the same INEC officials being rotated!
3 machines for mammoth crowd

Out of which one or two will still break down!

Ordinary transfer was a nightmare!

A large number of people put their lives at risk just to register all to no avail!
I have evidences!

It'd obvious that INEC are filled up with APC members! They and their well co-ordinated crime!

These are the WORST INEC OFFICIALS I have ever come across in the history of this country!
you are so right! Do you know that I waited over an hour at the registration centre even with the continual drizzling rain; these are officials who are suppose to be in the registration centre before we the electorates. What is now the essence of declaring a work free day if the INEC officials who are suppose to be incharge of the registration exercise are not punctual.

I was losing patience, the INEC officials were not even on sight. This registration exercise since it started, have flustered a lot of people who came to register for their PVCs and this is not about most Nigerians lackadaisical attitude for late minute interventions.

I hope the registration exercise is extended for I am without a shadow of doubt that majority of persons haven't gotten their PVCs I inclusive...it's such an abashement!

You are lucky you spend just one hour! Some people slept there!

People came as early as 3:00-4:00am! Just to put down their names!

Someone said she has being coming for the past 7days to no avail!

INEC will be doing a great injustice if it is not extended!!!
