Nigeria’s electoral umpire, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has washed its hands off a fake website for INEC voter registration which is currently circulating in the social media.
Barrister Festus Okoye, National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, who exposed the bogey website on Friday warned the public to steer clear of the portal.
Okoye gave the warning in Press Release made available to journalists on Friday which read in parts:
“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 .
“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“.
