The deputy speaker of the Lagos house of assembly, Rt Hon. Mojisola Lasbat Meranda, has called on residents of the state to troop out to participate in the upcoming voters registration exercise.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had earlier announced the commencement of the 2025 nationwide Continuous Voter Registration exercise ahead of the upcoming elections.
The deputy speaker, in a post on her Instagram page, urged residents of Lagos to participate in the exercise, maintaining that the PVC is more than a mere card.
She stated: “My message is simple: Your PVC is more than a card — it is your voice, your choice, and your power. Let us seize this moment to secure our ability to choose leaders who reflect our values and aspirations.

“I urge the people of Apapa Constituency 1, Lagosians, and all Nigerians to take advantage of this opportunity. Together, let us strengthen our democracy and shape the future we all desire.
“The process is free, simple, and vital to ensuring you can exercise your constitutional right to vote. For online pre-registration, visit the INEC website from your phone or computer, and then proceed for biometric capture at the nearest centre.”
According to the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Prof. Salami Ayobami, the exercise will begin on Monday, 18 August 2025, with an online pre-registration process, followed by in-person biometric capturing from Monday, 25 August 2025, and run until 30 August 2026.
