The Independent National Electoral Commission will resume the Continuous Voter Registration exercise within the first three months of 2021.
INEC has also set aside the sum of one billion naira for the Continuous Voter Registration exercise, which is expected to last for over a year.
INEC Chairman, Professor MAHMOUD YAKUBU, made the announcement when he appeared before the National Assembly to defend the 2021 Budget of the electoral commission.
Professor MAHMOOD YAKUBU also said that the electoral commission was considering ways to make it possible for Nigerians who live outside the country to vote in future elections.
However; for that to happen, Professor YAKUBU said that the National Assembly would have to amend the Electoral Act.
