The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Oyo State, has extended the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) by over two weeks and introduced an online self-service registration portal for first-time voters.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Prof. Adeniran Rahmon Tella, announced the development in a media release on Tuesday.
According to the statement, the CVR exercise, initially scheduled to close on Friday, 10th July 2026, will now run until Sunday, 26th July 2026. The extension applies to all 33 INEC Local Government Area offices as well as the State Office in Ibadan.
Prof. Tella further disclosed that from Wednesday, 8th July 2026, eligible first-time voters can initiate and complete their registration online through the Commission’s dedicated CVR portal – cvr.inecinqeria.org. The new self-service option provides a step-by-step guide and allows citizens to complete their biometric capture using personal devices, eliminating the need to visit an INEC office physically.
The REC urged all eligible Nigerians yet to register to take advantage of the extended window, either by visiting INEC offices or using the new online platform to prepare for future electoral activities.
He reaffirmed the Commission’s commitment to a credible, inclusive, and accessible voter registration process in Oyo State.
