Oyo INEC Concludes Second Phase of Voter Registration, Begins Display of Preliminary Voters’ Register
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Oyo State has announced the conclusion of the second phase of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise, effective Friday, 17 April 2026.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the Commission also announced the commencement of the display of the Preliminary Register of Voters for claims and objections, scheduled from Monday 20th to Sunday 26th April 2026, in line with its CVR timetable.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for Oyo State, Professor Adeniran Rahmon Tella, said the display exercise would hold in all 33 INEC Local Government Area offices between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. daily.
He explained that the exercise is designed to enable citizens to verify their biometric details on the register and request corrections where errors are identified.
Professor Tella added that it also covers applicants for voter transfer, correction of personal data, and replacement of lost or damaged Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
He noted that affected persons must appear in person at designated centres to confirm the status of their requests, stressing that representation by proxy will not be allowed.
The INEC REC then urged eligible voters to take full advantage of the exercise to ensure the accuracy and credibility of the voters’ register, adding that all claims and objections must be submitted within the stipulated period, as no requests will be entertained after the deadline.
