While disclosing this during a meeting with the leaders of political parties held at the Commission’s headquarters in Abuja on Monday, INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, said the CVR in Edo and Ondo States will take place simultaneously from Monday 27th May 2024 to Wednesday 5th June 2024 from 9.00am to 3.00pm daily including the weekend.

“Let me reiterate that the CVR is only open to new registrants and those who seek to transfer their registration. Persons who are registered as voters should not attempt to register again as double or multiple registration is illegal.
