The Nigerian Electoral Commission, responsible for coordinating the election, has urged Nigerians to take advantage of the opportunity to register or update their voter records, as the exercise will not be extended beyond today, Sunday 26 July.
INEC, as it’s popularly called, announced on X on Sunday, stressing that participation in the exercise remains a key requirement for voting in the 2027 general election.
“Time is running out, but there’s still an opportunity to make your voice count,” the commission stated.

“Register to vote or update your voter information before the close of Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) today, Sunday, 26 July 2026.”
The body asked Nigerians to complete their process via its CVR portal or visit any of its state and local government offices before the exercise ends.
The commission noted that the exercise also covers voter transfer requests, correction of personal information and the replacement of lost or damaged Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
The exercise comes to an end nationwide, as it was completed in phases since 2025.
The first phase of the CVR started in August 2025 with an online pre-registration and physical registration, which ended in December. At the end of the first phase, INEC confirmed the registration of 2, 572, 054 nationwide, comprising 1,503,832 online registrations and 1,068,222 completed through in-person enrolment.
The second phase started from January to April 17, 2026, which recorded 3.748,704 completed nationwide.
The body later started a third phase of the CVR in May as an extension to allow Nigerians enough time, and this will come to an end today, 26 July.
As this is the last phase, INEC urged Nigerians to ensure their registration is completed to participate in next year’s election.
