INEC Voters registration portal: How to apply for PVC [cvr.inecnigeria.org] – The independent national electoral commission (INEC) have opened the portal for voters card pre-registration, If you have not registered for your voter’s card before and would like to do so now, fill the form below to pre-register and save a lot of time when you visit the Biometric Data Collection Centers.
The pre-registration process is being developed so that only the capture of biometric information, that is, fingerprints, and front-facing photographs, will be done during the actual on-site registration process.
The estimated time to be spent during on-site registration has decreased because you would have already provided key Bio-Data during the pre-registration process.
This pre-registration system will also allow INEC to manage the number of expected registrants at a given registration center in accordance with established health, and safety protocols.
