The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Delta State has dismissed a viral report that the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise in Akwukwu Igbo, Oshimili North Local Government Area of the state was suspended due to a faulty machine.

In a statement on Friday by the Head of Voter Education and Publicity, Nseabasi Udom, INEC described the publication as false, misleading, and not originating from the commission.

INEC explained that the registration exercise was ongoing, in line with its approved rotation schedule.

According to the commission, the CVR was deployed to Ibusa earlier on Thursday, where the exercise successfully took place.

It further explained that the registration centre at Akwukwu Igbo would resume operations from 6 July to 10 July as part of the structured local government area.

It advised eligible voters to proceed with their registration and update exercises as scheduled, without fear of cancellation or disruption.

INEC reaffirmed its commitment to conducting a transparent, credible, and accessible CVR process across the state.

It also assured all eligible residents of equal opportunity to participate in the electoral process.
