“The Commission reiterates according to which these are pre-registry data from our dedicated CVR portal. The introduction of the pre-registry option in 2021 allowed the Nigerians to start the online process from anywhere in the world 24 hours a day, including weekends.
This instruction is clearly declared on the online portal. We urge all online pre-registers to complete the person process in the Incen designated centers without which the only online process is not valid.
“The Commission is aware that there are Nigerians who do not have access to online structures or those who prefer to register in person. Consequently, our staff has been deployed to attend the citizens eligible at the 811 state and local offices of the Commission, nationally.
Recall that the registration of person began on Monday 25 August 2025. Within five days to Friday 29 August 2025, a total of 72,274 citizens completed the pre-registry process or registered again on which 35,622 (49.29%) are males and 36,652 (50.71%) are women.
