CVR: INEC begins ward-level rotation of IVED

Residents of Osun State have been informed of a new phase in the Continuous Voter Registration, CVR, exercise, as the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has commenced the rotation of Integrated Voter Enrolment Devices, IVEDs, across wards in the state.

The initiative, according to a statement by Musa Olurode, Public Affairs Officer of INEC in Osun State, began on Monday, February 2, 2026, as part of efforts to decentralise voter registration services and reach eligible citizens at the grassroots.

According to the Commission, “the rotation arrangement allows Integrated Voter Enrolment Devices to move from one ward to another within each Local Government Area, ensuring wider coverage and easier access to registration points.”

INEC explained that the exercise is aimed at enabling eligible residents to register for their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), transfer registration, or make other approved updates without travelling long distances.

“The rotation of IVEDs across wards is designed to bring voter registration services closer to the people,” the Commission stated in a release issued in Osogbo.

The electoral body disclosed that the ward-level registration exercise would last for fifty days, starting from February 2 and concluding on April 10, 2026.

INEC further encouraged eligible citizens to take advantage of the opportunity by visiting designated centres in their respective wards during the scheduled periods.

“For transparency and effective monitoring, the detailed rotation timetable on a Local Government Area basis will be made available to the public,” the statement added.

The Commission reassured stakeholders that adequate arrangements had been put in place to ensure a smooth and orderly registration process across the state.

Reaffirming its commitment, INEC noted that the exercise was being conducted under the leadership of the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mutiu Agboke.

“The Commission remains committed to a credible, inclusive, and accessible voter registration process and calls on all stakeholders to support the success of the exercise,” the statement said.
