He described the exercise as a crucial step toward ensuring the inclusivity, accuracy, and integrity of the national voters’ register.

 

Alhaji Garba said, “The CVR will cater for new registrants, voters who have relocated and wish to transfer their registration, and those seeking replacements for lost, damaged, or defaced PVCs.

“All INEC local government area offices in Sokoto and the state headquarters will serve as registration centres, aligning with INEC’s commitment to accessibility and efficiency.

“To enhance transparency and minimise fraud, INEC will deploy the Voter Enrollment Device and the Automatic Biometric Identification System to detect multiple entries,” he noted.

The Commission appealed to the media, civil society groups, and traditional and religious leaders to support sensitisation efforts and ensure peaceful conduct during the exercise.

The REC further assured residents that INEC is working closely with security agencies to guarantee a safe environment for registrants and staff, urging citizens to report obstruction, extortion, or irregularities at registration centres.
