Nigeria’s electoral commission, INEC, extends the nationwide Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise to Friday, 24 July 2026. The previous deadline is moved from 10 July 2026 to the new date, according to reports from multiple outlets. Alongside the extension, INEC introduces an online self-service option for eligible Nigerians to register. One report describes the rollout as an online self-service portal through which eligible voters can complete registration steps independently, while another states that INEC unveils a “full self-service” option as part of the update. Both accounts frame the changes as adjustments to the ongoing voter registration process rather than a new exercise. The announcement is attributed to INEC officials responsible for information and voter education, who state the updated timeline and the availability of the self-service platform. The extension and the online option are presented as measures intended to widen access to voter registration ahead of future elections.
