Soludo ANSEC Urges Public Servants’ Participation in Continuous Voter Registration Exercise

Anambra State Executive Council (ANSEC) has urged public servants in the state to register in the ongoing continuous voter registration (CVR) process, which was reviewed, with the hitches and solutions noted for smooth processes.

The Council made the call at the 14th ANSEC meeting held at the Light House, Awka, on 14th July 2025, amidst other deliberations.

According to the State’s Commissioner for Information, Law Mefor, the Council stated that workers who have proof of their voter’s cards are to be allowed by their supervisors to be part of the CVR exercise.

Recently, Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo’s Chief Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, admonished residents and indigenes of Anambra State to troop out and participate in the electoral process by registering with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to have a chance to elect their leader in the forthcoming gubernatorial election slated for the 8th of November 2025.

He said it is why INEC has opened a critical window for the CVR in the state, running from 8th to 17th July.

Aburime stated that democracy is a game of numbers, and that as more people are eligible and able to vote in a free and fair election, the better the chances of the electorate in electing the right candidate. “But it all starts with duly registering to be able to vote,” he said.

He asserted that this comes as a golden opportunity for all eligible citizens and residents of Anambra State to take action, register, and ensure their voices are heard in shaping the future of our beloved state.

The CPS pointed out that the governorship election is a pivotal moment for Anambra, an opportunity to choose a leader who will drive progress, sustain development, address the needs of our communities, and realise our grand vision of transforming Anambra into a prosperous, smart megacity.

“The CVR is open to all eligible voting categories in Anambra State. If you are 18 years or older and have never registered to vote, now is the time to join the voters’ register. If you have relocated to Anambra from another state or within the state, you can update your voter registration to your new location. If your Permanent Voter’s Card is missing or damaged, you can apply for a replacement during the CVR. And if you registered previously but have not collected your PVC, you can pick it up at designated registration centres,” he explained.
