PVC REGISTRATION AND CORRECTION GUIDE: WHAT TO DO AS INEC RESUMES VOTER REGISTRATION IN AUGUST 2025

Voice of the people -

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has officially announced the resumption of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) across the country. This is a major opportunity for Nigerians to either:


Register for the first time, or


Correct errors on their voter records, or


Replace lost/damaged PVCs, or


Transfer to a new polling unit.



Below is an easy, step-by-step guide to help you through the process, based on the official schedule.



📅 INEC REGISTRATION SCHEDULE


Online Registration: Begins August 18, 2025


In-Person Registration: Begins August 25, 2025


Venue: INEC LGA Office or other designated locations within your area.



🔍 WHO SHOULD TAKE PART?


You should take part if:


✅ You have never registered before (first-time voter)

✅ You turned 18 recently and are now eligible to vote

✅ Your previous PVC is lost, stolen, or damaged

✅ You want to correct an error in your name, age, gender, or polling unit

✅ You’ve relocated and need to transfer your voter registration to your new residence


🧭 STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO PVC REGISTRATION OR CORRECTION



STEP 1: ONLINE PRE-REGISTRATION (From August 18)


Go to the official INEC portal: https://cvr.inecnigeria.org


From there, you can:


Start a new registration


Request a change of polling unit


Apply for a correction of personal details


Replace your lost or damaged PVC



Fill in your personal data and select a date and location for biometric capture.


Print or screenshot the registration slip and take it to the center on your scheduled day.



STEP 2: PHYSICAL (IN-PERSON) REGISTRATION (From August 25)


Whether or not you did the online pre-registration, you must visit the registration center for biometric capture.


📍 Where to go:


INEC Local Government Area office


Community centers or schools as designated by INEC


📝 What happens there?


Officials will confirm your identity


Your fingerprints, photo, and signature will be captured


You’ll be issued a Temporary Voter Card (TVC)



STEP 3: ERROR CORRECTION OR INFORMATION UPDATE


You can correct any of the following:


Misspelled name


Wrong date of birth


Incorrect gender


Mistaken address or polling unit.

During registration, simply inform the INEC official of the specific error you want to fix. They will update it on their system and issue you a new record.


📌 Note: You must present proof or explanation for changes to be approved.



STEP 4: PVC COLLECTION


INEC will later announce when the Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) are ready for collection. Go back to the same center with your TVC.


🪪 Your PVC will be issued to you after verification. Keep it safe — this is your ticket to vote in any Nigerian election.



🔔 FINAL REMINDERS


Registration is 100% free — do not pay anyone to register you.


Do not register more than once — double registration is a crime.


Only Nigerians 18 years and above are eligible.


No PVC, no voting!


🗣️ A CALL TO ACTION


> You are hereby urged to sensitize others, your parents, children, friends, brothers and sisters.


> Your vote is your power!


> The opportunity has presented itself for us to prove our numerical strength. Let no one be left behind.



✍️ As the voice of the people, I must remind us all:


We cannot complain about bad governance if we do not register to vote. This is more than a civic responsibility — it is a moral obligation.


🗳️ Register. Correct your record. Collect your PVC. Vote wisely.

TINIBU WHY SO SOON 😭😭😭😭😭

Voice of the people -
Image
In just two years, the current administration led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has pushed Nigeria’s public debt to an alarming *₦149.39 trillion* (about *97.24 billion*). Even more concerning, the government is still seeking additional loans — including a recent request for *1.75 billion from the World Bank*. This raises serious questions:   *How can a resource-rich nation like Nigeria be drowning in debt so quickly?*   We have abundant oil, gas, solid minerals, fertile land, and a vibrant population — yet, rather than managing and maximizing these resources, we are depending on foreign loans to run basic government operations. While governments do borrow to fund infrastructure or emergencies, the *pace and volume of borrowing* under this administration is troubling. *Two years in office*, and the numbers already surpass what many past governments accumulated in longer terms. What’s even worse is the lack of transparency.   Where is all this money going?...

The Endless Cycle of Political Recycling in Nigeria: A Wake-Up Call

Voice of the people -

In a passionate address recently shared by Barr. Ugo Ugwunnadi, he expressed deep frustration at the way Nigeria's political class continues to recycle themselves in power while ordinary citizens applaud them blindly. He highlighted how some individuals have occupied multiple key positions—commissioner, House of Assembly member, House of Representatives member, Secretary to the State Government, governor—without giving room for fresh leadership. One striking example he gave was that of a former chairman of Igbo Etiti Local Government, who was under 17 when his father was governor, yet later rose to become chairman. Meanwhile, older and loyal party followers of his father remained sidelined. According to Barr. Ugwunnadi, “God forbid that my children will serve the children of those I serve.” He also recalled a moment in 2015 when Senator Ike Ekweremadu allegedly boasted at Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium that he had been in power since 1999. Figures such as Orji Uzor Kalu also fall into this...

Tinubu’s Trip to Brazil: Diplomacy or Organized Looting?

Voice of the people -
Image
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s trip to Brazil — presented as a diplomatic mission to strengthen economic ties — has drawn serious concern among Nigerians. While the presidency claims the trip is meant to attract investment and build international relationships, *as citizens of this country, we see it as another wasteful, self-serving outing disconnected from the real struggles at home*. Nigeria is facing one of its deepest crises in decades. Inflation is at an all-time high. Food prices are unbearable. Fuel scarcity and electricity failure remain constant. Millions are unemployed, and insecurity continues to threaten lives daily. Yet, in the middle of all this, the president and his team continue to embark on foreign trips that cost millions in public funds — with little or no tangible result. These trips are often wrapped in flowery language: "economic cooperation," "bilateral partnership," "investment promotion." But for how long will Nigerians be fed wit...
