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.
