The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has extended the deadline for the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
In a statement issued in Abuja by the Director of Voter Education and Publicity, Victoria Eta-Messi, the commission announced that the exercise, earlier scheduled to end on Wednesday, will now continue until Sunday, October 12, 2025.
According to Eta-Messi, as of October 7, 2025, a total of 55,346 new voter registrations had been recorded in the FCT. The figure includes 38,528 online pre-registrations and 16,818 completed physical registrations.
The extension, INEC said, is aimed at allowing more eligible residents of the FCT to participate in the registration process ahead of the next electoral cycle.
