The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been directed to immediately begin Continuous Voters Registration (CVR) till 90 days before the general elections of 2023 by Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja.

As part of his ruling, Justice Ekwo instructed INEC to make sure that all eligible Nigerians get the chance to get voter registration cards for the upcoming election.

He maintained that the electoral umpire had a constitutional duty to ensure that the election was conducted in conformity with Nigerian law.

One Anajat Salmat and three other people sued INEC, claiming that the electoral authority cannot halt voter registration in violation of the specified provisions of the constitution.

They pleaded with the court to direct the electoral umpire to resume the process in conformity with the law of the land.
After a one-month extension, INEC terminated the CVR in July after the Federal High Court dismissed a lawsuit brought by the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) that attempted to extend the exercise through June 30, 2022.
