INEC Sets Key Dates for Osun Voter Registration Activities

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Osun State has announced the commencement of outstanding activities under Phase One of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise.

The development follows a circular issued by the Commission’s National Headquarters on Friday. In a statement issued on Saturday on behalf of Dr. Mutiu Agboke, the Osun Resident Electoral Commissioner, by Public Affairs Officer Musa Olurode, INEC said the initiative aligns with the approved national timeline for the ongoing CVR.

The Commission emphasized that the exercise is designed to ensure all eligible citizens have the opportunity to register, update their details, or verify their records ahead of future elections. “Phase One of the exercise will continue until 10 December 2025, after which subsequent key activities will follow,” the statement said.

INEC further announced that the printing of the Preliminary Register of Voters is scheduled for 13–14 December 2025, to facilitate preparations for the mandatory display of the register. The display for claims and objections will run from 16 to 21 December 2025.

“Registered voters and the general public are encouraged to visit any of the 30 local government offices of the Commission to verify their details,” the statement added. Citizens can raise claims or objections during the seven-day display period, with public scrutiny being a key step in ensuring the accuracy of the voters’ register.

Complaints arising from the display exercise will be received, documented, and processed on 21 December 2025, with necessary updates to the register carried out on 22 December 2025 to maintain the integrity of the voter database.

Phase Two of the CVR will resume on 5 January 2026, providing another opportunity for eligible citizens to register or update their information. The Commission urged all eligible citizens to take advantage of this period.

Finally, INEC called on the public to rely on official communication channels for accurate information and to avoid misinformation regarding the voter registration process.
