INEC online appointment slots unavailable; walk-in registration allowed
INEC's online appointment system shows no available slots for biometric capture, even though the commission says biometric capturing continues until July. Residents in various locations report being unable to book slots online, with some suspecting deliberate disenfranchisement. INEC spokesperson Mohammed Haruna did not respond to requests for comment, but an unnamed official told Premium Times that applicants can simply go to any INEC office to register without securing a time slot. This means voters can still complete their registration by walking in with the required documents, avoiding reliance on the problematic online portal. The issue affects prospective voters nationwide who rely on the online system for convenience. If you need to register, will you visit your nearest INEC office despite the online slot issue, or wait for the system to be fixed?
