The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has appealed to eligible female voters in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to register in the ongoing five days Continuous Voter Registration (CVR).
INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, made the appeal while speaking with newsmen when he visited some registration centres on Friday in Abuja.
He said that available records showed that no fewer than 21,978 voters in the FCT had registered in the last two days of the exercise.
Yakubu pledged that the commission would do everything possible to ensure that eligible voters in the territory were captured in the ongoing CVR.
He said that it was the desire of the commission to ensure that interested eligible voters were registered and empowered with the Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) to cast their vote.
He said: ``the truth is that people have greater confidence in the electoral process and everybody wants to be registered.
The chairman said that the commission would meet to look into the request of the registrants that more Direct Data Capturing (DDC) machines and manpower should be deployed to registration centres.
