The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has launched an online portal for eligible voters to register ahead of the 2023 general elections.
The Chairman of the Commission, Professor Mahmood Yakubu disclosed this on Thursday in a chat with newsmen shortly after the launching.
The Commissioner said the portal was created for intending registrants to commence the process online before the centres would reopen.
The Commissioner urged those intending to participate in the exercise to register by imputing their important details before proceeding to the next stage of the registration exercise.
He said the decision to register first online was due to the current security reality of the nation, adding that full registration at the 2,673 registration centres would soon begin across the nation.
“However, I must quickly reiterate that the online registration is a public service and therefore free of charge. There is no INEC-approved cybercafe, no online registration centre and no scratch card to be purchased for the exercise. All you need is a device, including your mobile phones that can connect to the internet”, he added.
