Hon. Elliot Appeals to Ede North Residents: Charges them to Register for Voter's Card in CVR. 

Friday, August 15, 2025. Continuous Voter's Registration (CVR) 

As the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officially declared it open, the resumption of Continuous Voter's Registration (CVR) nationwide, the Executive Chairman of Ede North Local Government, Hon. Adeyemi Oluwasesan Elliot, had the honor to address the patriotic and compatriot indigenes of Ede North Local Government to pledge to come out en masse as the CVR commences on Monday, August 18, 2025. 

Registration for a voter's card isn't just an exercise; it's a great, significant step for citizens to participate in the democratic process, and it's deeply involved in influencing the making of many decisions in our nation. It's only through registration that citizens gain the constitutional right to vote in elections, influencing the direction of communities, regions, and countries. 

In regard to this, Hon. Elliot appeals to community stakeholders, parents, and guardians to help guide our children who are just getting to the age requirements (18 and above) to fully take part in this exercise. Also, those who have lost or damaged their voter's cards are to participate as well. 

He also made it known that this opportunity of CVR from INEC enables those who have moved from one community to another, local government to another, or one state to another to participate as well by transferring their voter's card. 

According to the official statement released by the National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information & Voter Education Committee, Sam Olumekun, mni, "Resumption of the nationwide Continuous Voter Registration (CVR). The CVR will resume on Monday, August 18th, 2025, nationwide with the online pre-registration of voters." 

The physical or in-person registration will follow a week later at the 811 INEC State and Local Government offices across the country on Monday, August 25th, 2025. The list and locations of the centers, including dedicated telephone numbers for citizens in need of assistance, can be obtained from the website and other online platforms.

Hon. Elliot appreciates the resilience and cooperation of the people of Ede North Local Government amidst the ongoing operations of local government administration, pledges his dedication to serving our community with utmost commitment.
