The Kaduna State Government has declared 27th – 29th July 2022 as public holiday to enable more citizens to complete their voter registration.
The state government appealed to residents of the state to register to vote before 31st July 2022.
A statement from Sir Kashim Ibrahim House urged all eligible residents of the state to seize this window to register to vote so as to be in a position to exercise their right to vote.
The statement signed by Mr. Muyiwa Adekeye, Special Adviser to the Governor (Media & Communication), disclosed that the government requests all employers to actively support their staff to register before the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) closes voter registration on 31st July 2022.
INEC had earlier announced that its ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) will end on July 31, 2022.
The commission’s National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, stated that: “The CVR is hereby extended for another two weeks until Sunday 31st July 2022, thereby bringing the total duration of the extension to 31 days (1st – 31st July 2022).
“The exercise has also been extended to eight hours daily from 9.00am – 5.00 pm instead of the current duration of six hours (9.00 am – 3.00 pm) daily.
“The exercise is also extended to include weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) as against only weekdays.”
