CVR: Ekwunife Urges Anambra Electorate To Update Their Voter Statuses
Sen. Uche Ekwunife, the Deputy Governorship Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC),has called on voters in Anambra state to take advantage of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise to ensure their registration cards and status were valid.
Ekwunife made the appeal on Tuesday as part of her engagement with electorate.
Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced that CVR will take place between July 8 to Thursday July 17, 2025.
The electoral body said the exercise would hold daily across all 326 wards in Anambra from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, excluding Mondays and weekends.
Ekwunife, said participating in the CVR was a crucial step to strengthening democracy and ensuring a brighter future for the state.
She noted that the ability to bring about meaningful progress rested with the people who exercised their right to vote.
“The CVR exercise is intended for individuals who are registering for the first time, those who have changed their place of residence, people with lost or damaged PVCs, and already registered voters who are yet to collect their cards.
“All eligible residents to ensure they take part in the process, whether by registering, transferring their details, replacing lost or damaged cards, or picking up uncollected PVCs, only those with valid voter cards will be able to vote in the upcoming election.
“So, it is time for us to play an active role in determining the leadership and direction of the state,” she said.
Ekwunife said every vote carried weight and was instrumental in securing a government that would be accountable, people focused, and development driven.
Ekwunife said she shares commitment with Dr Nicholas Ukachukwu, the APC governorship candidate to provide leadership that placed high priority on the security, wellbeing, and prosperity of
all Anambra people.
