INEC disowns fake Continuous Voter Registration online

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has disowned and dissociated itself from a fake Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) online portal.

Its National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, in a statement yesterday, explained that https://register.inec-pvc.online/ with shortened URL as https://bit.ly/INEC-PvcReg2021, should be disregarded.

Okoye appealed to the public to be vigilant and not cave in to antics of evil-minded and desperate people who want to truncate the efforts of the commission in entrenching unbiased electoral process.

He said: The attention of the Commission has been drawn to a post, which is currently being circulated on the social media, about a website for INEC voter registration which is different from the INEC CVR Portal.

“The address of the fake portal is https://register.inec-pvc.online/ with shortened URL as https://bit.ly/INEC-PvcReg2021.

“INEC wishes to totally disassociate itself from this website and any activity carried out on it. The Commission states that it has not accredited any agency or organization to capture details of intending voters on its behalf.

“The general public is hereby informed that the INEC Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) online portal remains https://cvr.inecnigeria.org.”
