Dear Active Citizen,

Elections will always be decided by votes! In 98 days, electorates in Ekiti State will be presented with an opportunity to decide their next governor.Ahead of #EkitiDecides2022, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has brought Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) to ward level (registration areas). The ward registrations which began on March 8, 2022 is scheduled to end on March 14th. Avail yourself of this opportunity to get registered for your PVC.

CVR updates as of March 7, 2022, reveal that less than 60% of fresh registrants have completed their registrations in Ekiti and Osun states.Active citizens in Ekiti and Osun, you cannot vote for your candidate unless you register to vote and complete your physical registration. Tell your friends and acquaintances. Spread the word. If you are yet to begin the process, click here to start today!

The voter turnout in the last 2 gubernatorial elections in Ekiti and Osun fell below 50%. In both election cycles, there has been a steady decline in voter turnout. The journey to change this narrative must start in this election cycle!

As we countdown to the election dates, active citizens in Ekiti or Osun let your votes do the talking. Clear your calendars, save the date and show up on election day.
