The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has raised the alarm over a fake online registration portal for Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) ahead of the 2023 general elections.

INEC raised the alarm in a statement issued by its National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Mr Festus Okoye, on Friday in Abuja.

Okoye explained that INEC attention had been drawn to a post, which is presently being circulated on the social media platforms, about a website for INEC voter registration, “which is different from the commission CVR Portal.

He said, “The address of the fake portal is https://register.inec-pvc.online/ with shortened URL as https:///INEC-PvcReg2021.

“INEC wishes to totally disassociate itself from this website and any activity carried out on it.”

Okoye added that INEC had not accredited any organisation or agency to capture details of intending voters on its behalf.

He said, “The general public is hereby informed that the INEC continuous voter registration online portal remains https://cvr.inecnigeria.org.”
