The Young Progressive Party has urged Nigeria's Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to extend the Continuous Voter Registration exercise ahead of the 2027 general elections. Party leaders Abraham Adedotun and Blessing Benyeogor argue that eligible Nigerians who have yet to register risk being excluded from the electoral process.
The party expresses concern over access to voter registration and the need to ensure that all eligible citizens are included in the voter rolls. INEC had initially scheduled the 2025-2026 CVR exercise to run until August 30, 2026, but subsequently revised the timeline and extended the final phase to July 26, 2026. They ruled out further extensions, stating that delaying the process could impact their preparations for the 2027 elections.
The YPP believes that extending the registration period would help promote broad participation and strengthen public confidence in Nigeria's democracy.
