The Federal High Court in Abuja issued an order on Tuesday ordering the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to resume continuous voter registration (CVR) until 90 days before the 2023 general elections.
“The case of the plaintiffs succeeds on merit,” the judge declared.
NAN reports that Anajat Salmat and three others had sued INEC as sole defendant in a suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/1343/2022.
In the originating summons filed before the court, the plaintiffs argued that INEC cannot stop the CVR contrary to the stipulated provisions of the constitution.
They asked the court to order the electoral umpire to resume the voting process in accordance with the country’s laws.
