The Independent National Electoral Commission said it would hold Continuous Voter Registration in Kogi and Bayelsa States fromSeptember 2 to 7 ahead of the governorship elections in both states.
According to the commission’s daily bulletin issued on Monday in Abuja, the exercise will take place at the local government areas in the states from 8am to 4pm daily.
It stated that the five-day exercise would afford opportunity for three groups of eligible persons to be registered.
The groups, the commission said, were those who were eligible but did not register before the 2015 general elections and who were registered but their names were not in the voters’ register.
“The other is those who have attained the age of 18 years since the last registration exercise,” it added.
The commission, therefore, urged prospective voters in both states to turn out and take advantage of the exercise to register in order to vote in the forthcoming elections.
It stated that the commission had already had a stakeholders meeting in Kogi State and would have a similar one in Bayelsa State on Thursday.
