The Anambra State Government has called on residents to participate fully in the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration exercise which kicked off across the state on July 8.
According to the Independent Electoral Commission, the CVR exercise will end on July 17.
INEC added that it provided an opportunity for eligible voters to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards to participate in the forthcoming governorship election in the state.
The state Commissioner for Information, Law Mefor, who made the call, said it was part of efforts to strengthen democracy and ensure inclusive participation in the governorship election coming up in the state on November 8, 2025.
Mefor, in a press statement released on Wednesday, urged all eligible citizens to take advantage of the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration exercise announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
He said, “As part of efforts to strengthen democracy and ensure inclusive participation in the November 8, 2025 governorship election in Anambra State and future elections in Nigeria, the Anambra State Government is urging all eligible citizens to take advantage of the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration exercise announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
“The CVR exercise, which commenced on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, and will end on July 17, 2025, provides an opportunity for eligible voters to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards.
“This is particularly important for young people who have recently turned 18 years old and are now eligible to vote. Citizens who have relocated to Anambra State from other parts of the country and wish to transfer their voting rights. Individuals who have lost or defaced their voter cards and need to replace them.
The government encourages everyone who falls within these categories to visit their nearest registration centre and complete the registration process. This is a crucial step in ensuring that our democracy remains vibrant and representative of the will of the people. For further information, please visit the INEC website.”
Meanwhile, checks by our correspondent at major locations across the state, showed that the exercise has witnessed a low turnout since it started on Tuesday due to rainfall and low awareness by the residents.
