The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has warned that Nigerians who engage in double voter registration would be liable to one year imprisonment or a fine. INEC National Commissioner and Chairman (Information and Voter Education Committee), Festus Okoye, disclosed this at a workshop on technological applications in the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) Process Systems for Heads of Department of ICT in the States and Federal Capital Territory in Lagos. x“Already registered voters that have no issues with their registration are not supposed to register during this exercise. So doing will amount to double registration and constitute an electoral offence,” he said. Ononamadu furthermore expressed concern over threats to the security of registrants and staff of the commission during the exercise.
