INEC flags off voters' registration in Kogi

The National Commissioner of INEC in charge of Kogi, Plateau and Nasarawa states, Mr Haruna Mohammed on Thursday flagged off the Continuous Voters Registration (CVR) exercise in Lokoja, the Kogi state capital.

The INEC Commissioner in an address at the flag off, called on all eligible voters in the state who are yet to be captured on the Commission's register to do so in order not to be disenfranchised.

He said the CVR exercise which holds simultaneously across the 774 local government areas in the country, will continue until the conclusion of the general election in 2019.

Haruna said the Commission has provided a team of four Registration Area Officers and a Distribution Officer at each registration point in the LGAs to handle the exercise.

He urged political parties and other stakeholders to encourage their supporters to come out for the presentation while those that are yet to collect their PVCs should equally do so.
