Independent National Electoral Commission says
it has commenced continuous voter registration in Edo and Ondo states, in
preparation for the off-cycle governorship elections.
The elections are scheduled for September 21,
2024, in Edo and November 16, 2024, in Ondo respectively.
The National Commissioner and Chairman of the
Information and Voter Education Committee, Sam Olumekun, in a statement said,
the continuous voter registration began at 397 centres across the two states on
Monday.
The state acting chairman of the APC, Jarret
Tenebe, in a statement has urged INEC to cancel the exercise due to the damage
to its secretariat, materials and equipment meant for the continuous voter
registration, while, INEC had moved the registration centre to its office at
Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area of the state.
To facilitate access to registration centres,
INEC had distributed hard copies of the locations to stakeholders and uploaded
the information on its website and social media platforms.
