 The Independent Electoral Commission in Oyo State says the continuous voter registration process will begin with a dedicated portal that followed by the commencement of physical CVR at all other registration centres, which is in addition to online registration. Resident Electoral Commissioner Mutu Aboke made this known during a media briefing with journalists in Ibadon. Aboke said the essence is to reduce overcrowding at registration centres, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and as a result of the prevailing security situation in the country. This year's EBR exercise is unique. As the equipment for the exercise is a new registration machine called the INEV voter enrollment device, IVET, which is built around the concept of a tablet computer. This will replace the laptop-based old direct data capture machine, the DCM, that we are using before now. It is more mobile and efficient than the DCCM and will also be deployed to other activities, particularly the accreditation of voters during elections. The commission also implored those who are yet to collect their PVCs to use the current opportunity of the exercise to get their PVCs ahead of the 2023 general election. Over several hundred thousand PVCs are yet to be collected since the last registration exercise. With this figure, there are those that are transferred to another state or location. Let me see this opportunity to implore those who are yet to collect their PVCs to use this opportunity of severe exercise to get their PVCs as the commission graduate prepares for the 2023 general election.
