Wife of Anambra State Governor, Dr. Nonye Soludo has urged eligible residents to participate actively in the on-going Continuous Voter Registration (CVR).
Her passionate appeal comes as preparations intensify across 326 political wards in the state ahead of November 8 gubernatorial election.
In a statement, the First Lady described the voter registration exercise as a critical step for all eligible voters to secure their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
“The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has just officially kicked off the much-awaited Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) for all voting categories in Anambra State.
“The exercise, which will run until July 17, will take place daily from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, including weekends.
“The CVR is open to those who wish to obtain a new PVC, have changed their place of residence, misplaced or damaged their PVCs, or have yet to collect their cards,” she stated.
The governor’s wife encouraged residents to seize the “great window” to register, update, or retrieve their voting credentials.
“Don’t let this opportunity pass you by. This is your right and your responsibility.
“If you’re currently staying in Anambra State and fall within the voting age, ensure you are not left behind.
“Possessing a PVC is the only legitimate way citizens can express their political will and influence the leadership of the state.
“It is only with your PVC that you can translate that voice into real action.
“Don’t disenfranchise yourself. Find time to do what’s right. Get that PVC,” she urged.
