Voters Card Registration Guidelines
The Voter registration is a process to register Nigerians who are 18 years of age and or above and those who are eligible but for some reason were unable to register after completing the previous registration at INEC offices. It is often referred to as the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR).
Registration can be started online as a registration process (pre registration ) and completed the registration (finger biometric) in person at the nearest designated location. Another option is to start the process at a designated center and complete it all there without any advance registration process.
