The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has disowned an online portal on the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise currently circulating on some social media platforms.
INEC Deputy Director of Information and Publicity, Wilfred Ifogah, in an interview in Abuja, described it as fake and a phishing scam designed to harvest unsuspecting citizens’ personal data.
The viral post, entitled “INEC ONLINE VOTERS REGISTRATION 2026 ONGOING”, which has been circulating on WhatsApp and other digital platforms, directed Nigerians to a link, https://linksnapro.com/cvrreg, claiming that the deadline for registration is August 17, 2026.
The post also claimed that the home addresses provided by users would be used to deliver their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).

Ifogah, however, advised members of the public to disregard the message and avoid clicking on the link, warning that doing so could expose users to identity theft and cyber fraud.
“INEC does not use third-party blogging links or private URL for official exercises, nor does it deliver PVCs to private residences,” he said.
