A statement signed by the chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee Barr. Festus Okoye yesterday in Abuja said INEC has received reports from states indicating an unprecedented surge in the number of citizens that wish to register as voters and the challenges they face across the country.

In some states, the Commission said the sudden turnout of prospective registrants is overwhelming.

Consequently, the Commission said it convened an urgent meeting with all the Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) yesterday Thursday 9th June 2022 to review the situation so that eligible Nigerians who wish to register can do so.

‘’The necessity to urgently deploy more voter enrolment machines to ease the congestion at the registration centres was identified as a priority,” the statement said.

In response, the Commission said it will monitor the situation over the next few days.

“Thereafter, it will meet to review the progress of the exercise.

“Every step will be taken and all options will be explored to ensure that eligible Nigerians are given the opportunity to register as voters.

“The Commission appeals for patience and understanding of all citizens. Every Nigerian who is 18 years of age and above has the constitutional right to register and vote in any part of the country he/she resides in without let or hindrance.”

The Commission said that the sudden surge is an affirmation of the increasing confidence Nigerians have in our electoral process.

The Commission added that will continue to ensure that this confidence is sustained.
