From August 25, take this slip to any INEC local government office for biometric capturing and physical verification.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Agboke added that those unable to complete the process online would also be attended to at the INEC state office in Osogbo and local government offices during the exercise, which runs from 9am to 3pm daily without any fees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis exercise is for people who have turned 18 and have never registered before. It is also for those with damaged or defaced Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), and those who have relocated and need to transfer to their registration to their new location,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Osun INEC boss who stressed the importance of voter registration and participation in elections, urged religious organisations to support the commission\u2019s efforts to deepen democracy.<\/p>\n<p>He also assured congregants that their votes would count in future elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need the grace of God to make elections work in Nigeria. Sitting on the fence is not good. We need the support of religious organisations and every citizen for us to get it right.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome 2026 in Osun State, I can assure you that no one will win the election except the candidate the people vote for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The REC encouraged people to report any irregularities or make inquiries using the following contact numbers: 08133764850 (Head of ICT), 08035604059 (Head of Operations), and 08037435880 (Resident Electoral Commissioner).<\/p>\n<p>At the NASFAT mosque in Osogbo, Agboke gave a similar sensitisation calling on members to make use of the opportunity to register or update their voter records.<\/p>\n<p>He urged NASFAT members to take advantage of the registration period to support the success of the exercise and contribute to credible elections.<\/p>\n<p>Both religious leaders at Winners\u2019 Chapel and NASFAT pledged to disseminate the information further to ensure their members participate actively in the exercise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
