The Civil Liberties Organisation (CLO), in Onitsha, Anambra, has appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to extend the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR), exercise by three months.
This is contained in a statement jointly signed by the CLO chairman, Vincent Ezekwueme, and the secretary, Chidi Mbah, on Tuesday in Onitsha.
The group urged INEC to extend the exercise because of the large numbers of prospective registrants, especially in the South–East, NAN reported.
However, the electoral body, on Monday, affirmed that the deadline for the registration exercise remains July 31.
