All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) candidate for the November 6 Anambra governorship election, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, has called on voters across the country and in Anambra state to take full advantage of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, continuous voters registration exercise which begins Monday, June 28, 2021to get registered.
In a release by his media aide, Chris Aburime, Soludo appealed to Nigerian voters to cooperate fully with INEC as way of deepening and sustaining the nation’s democratic processes.
He argued that the exercise gives ample opportunity for non-registered citizens who are now 18 years and above to formally register as voters. It also enables any registered voter who has issues with accreditation during the last exercise and those who want to transfer their PVC to another location to do so.
Other opportunities for the registration exercise, he noted, include, any registered voter whose PVC is damaged or those whose names were wrongly spelt
According to INEC, the exercise will close at the 3rd quarter of 2022 except that of Anambra state which will close temporarily in August, 2021 as result of the governorship election billed to hold in the state later in the year
Soludo further charged voters, to take advantage of the continuous voters registration window to validate their PVC which he described as their power to elect credible leaders
