The registration process is divided into stages.

On June 28, only online registration will be available with registrants encouraged to begin the process at https://cvr.inec.gov.ng or https://cvr.inecnigeria.org (the websites will go live on Monday).

Registrants will be required to fill out forms and upload photos and other documents on the website.

They will then schedule a visit to an INEC State or Local Government Area office to complete the registration process in person.

Physical registration for online registrants will begin on July 19.

Online registration is free and can be completed using an internet-enabled mobile phone on INEC web page?

What if you are unable to register online?

Those who are unable to register online for whatever reason can register in person beginning on July 19 at any INEC State or LGA centre.
