During a Meeting with the 36 States and the FCT Resident Commissioners the Independent National Electoral Commission Chairman Professor Mahmood Yakubu said the Commission had concluded arrangements to resume Continuous Voter Registration on June 28.

“Apart from the CVR, we shall continue our preparations for two bye-elections scheduled for June 19 in Sabon Gari State Constituency in Kaduna State and Gwaram Federal Constituency in Jigawa State,” he said.

“Furthermore, preparations for the Anambra State governorship election to be held on November 6 and the FCT Area Council election scheduled for Feb. 12 will be prioritized.

“Similarly, we shall continue our early preparations for 2023 general elections. In this regard, the commission has already established an Election Project Plan EPP committee to work on the 2023 election plan.

“The idea is to complete the plan early enough and make sure that we are fully ready for the election, which is now only 640 days away.”

He said that the commission was waiting for the official declaration of
vacancies by the House of Representatives for the Jos North/Bassa
Federal Constituency in Plateau and Lere Federal Constituency in Kaduna
State.
