Voter registration will be extended – INEC Boss

The chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Mahmood Yakubu, has said that the Continuous Voter Registration exercise will not end on June 30.

Yakubu said this at the YouthVoteCount2 concert in Abuja on Saturday.

He said, “The second thing you want to know is when will this registration end? Is it going to end on the 30th of June, in the next five days?

“On behalf of INEC, let me assure you, e no go end for 30th June for as long as we have you people trying to register to obtain your PVC, we will continue to register you and we will continue to make sure that you get your PVC.”

Meanwhile, a court had during the week stopped INEC from ending the registration exercise.
