The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has urged eligible citizens, particularly residents of Mushin local government to take full advantage of the ongoing continuous voters’ registration and transfer exercise.
At a sensitisation forum, an INEC official, Abiodun Oje, said that the initiative was designed to ease the process for citizens to register, transfer, or update their voter information with ease.
“This exercise concerns every eligible citizen, particularly in Mushin Local Government. You don’t need to travel long distances. You can transfer your registration to where you reside, whether interstate, inter-local government, or even within the same community,” he said.

He noted that the transfer process covers interstate, inter and intra-LGA movements, ensuring that voters are not disenfranchised due to relocation.
Abiodun also emphasised the pivotal role of community based associations and socio-political groups in sensitising residents on the importance of participating in the exercise.
“As leaders and influencers in your various communities, be it in the markets, among artisans, or within socio-political groups, you occupy a strategic position in mobilising our people,” he said.
