Mr Yepe said that eligible voters would first need to pre-register online and complete the registration process at the INEC office in person.

He said “Intending registrants can use the INEC online registration portal (cvr.inecnigeria.org) to pre-register and then proceed to any INEC office to complete the registration.

“What is more important is that, on the 26 July, those that have concluded their online registration would be captured.

“They are expected to go to local government offices or the state headquarters of INEC in Jos for physical capture of face and fingerprints,” he added.

He called on all eligible residents of Plateau to come out in time to register.
