INEC Voters Card Online Registration – Steps to Register

Ahead of the 2023 general elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has launched an online portal for Nigerians to register as voters.

Eligible Nigerians are expected to access the portal and provide relevant details before moving on to complete the registration at designated physical centre.

The portal will be accessible to the public on Monday, June 28, when the online registration is scheduled to commence.

Intending registrants can visit any INEC state or LGA office to complete the process starting from Monday, July 19, the same day the physical registration is scheduled to start.

The online portal, according to INEC, is a public service and therefore free of charge. All that is needed is a mobile device that can connect to the internet.
