INEC registers 4,423 new voters in Anambra

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Anambra State says it has registered 4,423 eligible voters in the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise in the state.

The State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Queen Agwu, disclosed this during a briefing on Wednesday in Awka.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the commission registered 2.8 million voters in 2025 before the governorship election in the state.

“We have started the CVR in Anambra. The exercise commenced on 5 January and will end on 17 April 2026.

“In the ongoing second phase of this registration exercise, we have registered a total of 4,423 voters in the state.

“The ongoing exercise is being done rotationally in the 326 wards in the state,” she said.

She said the rotational method would ensure grassroots registration in the state.

She encouraged eligible voters to register at their local government areas or the INEC head office in the state.

The REC cautioned against duplicate registrations, noting that the digital system would reject them.

“If you have an issue with your Permanent Voter Card or registration, it will be sorted out when you complain. Don’t go for double registration.

“If you have been captured before, don’t go for another capture, but update when you have an issue with your registration,” she said.
