The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced that it will commence the periodic nationwide voters registration for the 2027 general elections on August 18, 2025.

According to INEC, the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) will run for six months, concluding on February 17, 2026.

According to the Electoral body, the exercise targets new voters, those transferring their registration, and individuals replacing lost or damaged voter cards.

According to a statement by the Commission via its X handle on Friday, online pre-registration will open on Monday, August 18, 2025, through its official portal: cvr.inecnigeria.org.

The Commission further disclosed that in-person registration will commence on Monday, August 25, 2025, at all INEC Local Government Area offices and designated registration centres nationwide.

It stated that the exercise will run from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Mondays to Fridays.

The statement reads in part: “This exercise is for Nigerians who have attained voting age or those who were unable to register in previous exercises.

“We encourage all eligible citizens to either begin the process online or visit our offices and designated centres once the physical registration begins.”

According to INEC, “the CVR is not just for new registrants.”

“The process also accommodates requests for transfer of registration, replacement of lost or damaged Permanent Voter Cards and correction of personal information such as names and dates of birth,” the statement added.
