INEC national commissioner and chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Sam Olumekun, who disclosed this in Abuja yesterday, said the extension was in response to the appeal from the people of the state.

Olumekun commended the large turnout of registrants in Anambra and the peaceful conduct of the CVR in all the 326 registration centres in the state, saying as of Wednesday, 96,085 new voters had successfully registered in nine days.

“On average, the commission registered over 10,600 voters per day.

In addition, 12,595 voters applied for transfer of their registration both within and outside the state while 7,061 persons applied for the update of their records or the replacement of their damaged or lost Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs).

“The CVR in Anambra state ends today. However, in response to appeal from citizens, the Commission hereby extends the exercise for three more days. It will now end on Sunday 20th July 2025.

“Thereafter, the commission will display the register for claims and objections by citizens as provided by law, followed by a further clean-up of the data using the Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS).

“Subsequently, the detailed breakdown of the new registrants by age, gender, occupation and disability will be published for public information. At this preliminary stage, 56,017 (58%) of new registrants are female while 50,429 (52.48%) are young people between the ages of 18 and 34,” he said.

Olumekun also disclosed that
the commission received five more letters of intent from associations, seeking registration as political parties, bringing the number received so far to 134.

These include; Green Future Party (GFP), Affirmative Action Party of Nigeria (AAPN), A Better Alliance for Nigerian (ABA), New National Democratic Party (NNDP) and
Advanced Progressive People’s Alliance (APPA).
