The Independent National Electoral Commission has started the display of the Preliminary Register of Voters at its Local Government Area offices across Nigeria.
The exercise, which began on Monday, 15 December 2025, allows eligible voters to verify their registration details following the recently concluded Continuous Voter Registration exercise.
In a statement on its official X handle on Monday, INEC urged voters who registered or updated their information during the CVR, which ended on 10 December 2025, to visit their designated LGA offices to confirm that their details have been correctly captured.
“The verification window allows you to identify and correct any errors ahead of the production of the final register,” the commission said, noting that the next phase of the CVR will commence in January 2026.
During the PRV display, voters are advised to check their registration details and file claims if they find issues such as missing names, incorrect information, or incomplete records.
Members of the public may also raise objections if they have evidence that a registered individual is deceased, underage, not a Nigerian citizen, or otherwise not qualified to vote in that area.
The Claims and Objections exercise will run for one week, concluding on Sunday, 21 December 2025. INEC encouraged all eligible voters to participate to ensure the accuracy and credibility of the final voters’ register.
