The Independent National Electoral Commission has clarified that the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise, starting on July 8 in Anambra, is solely for the November 8 governorship election.
Dr. Elizabeth Agwu, Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, made the clarification during a news conference on Thursday in Awka.
Agwu said that the CVR did not apply to the Senate and House of Assembly bye-elections.
She announced that the CVR for the governorship election will begin on July 8 and conclude on July 17.
According to her, the exercise will run daily from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., including Saturdays but excluding Mondays.
She urged eligible voters in the state to turn out in large numbers to either register afresh or update their biodata as needed.
