Voter card correction in Nigeria: INEC update guide

If your PVC or voter registration details are wrong, use INEC’s voter update process when Continuous Voter Registration services are open.

Quick answer

Registered voters can use INEC voter update services to request changes to their information. The INEC CVR portal also lets registered voters review registration, request updates, transfer registration, track PVC status, and find collection centres.

What you may need

  • Existing voter details or VIN where available.
  • Correct spelling of names and personal details.
  • Phone/email access for portal updates.
  • Evidence requested by INEC for certain changes or transfers.

Transfer vs correction

If you moved to another area, you may need voter transfer, not just correction. If your name or details are wrong, use voter update/correction guidance.
