The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has created additional registration centres in Anambra State as a result of voter surge.
It has brought the initial 62 to 87 in the State for the ongoing continuous registration exercise.
Anambra State Resident Electoral Commissioner REC, Dr Nkwachukwu Orji, disclosed this at the INEC headquarters in Awka while briefing reporters.
He said: “I am pleased to announce that the Commission has created additional 25 registration centres in Anambra State, and that they commenced operation by 9.00 am today. The locations of the centres will be distributed to you shortly.
“The additional centres bring the total number of centres in Anambra State to 87. We have reopened some LGA Offices that were shut down as a result of insecurity. Specifically, on Tuesday, 7 June 2022, the Idemili North LGA Office was reopened. Today, 14 June 2022, we have resumed registration exercise in Ogbaru and Ayamelum LGAs.
“We have reorganised our operational procedure by separating people seeking biometric services from those that require non-biometric services.
” In this sense, biometric services involves fresh registration while non-biometric services include request for PVC Replacement, Voter Transfer and Update.”
