The Anambra State Governor’s wife, Dr Nonye Soludo, has issued a strong call to action, urging residents of the state to actively participate in the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise, which commenced this month and runs until July 17.
In a statement released recently, Dr. Soludo described the exercise as a vital civic duty, emphasising that obtaining a Permanent Voter Card (PVC) is the first and most crucial step toward influencing leadership and driving meaningful change in the state.
“The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has officially kicked off the much-awaited Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) for all voting categories in Anambra State,” she stated.
The registration will hold daily across all 326 political wards from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., including weekends.
Dr. Soludo explained that the exercise was open to individuals who need new PVCs, have relocated, misplaced or damaged their cards, or are yet to collect theirs from previous registration rounds.
She encouraged eligible residents to take advantage of what she described as a “great window” to register, update, or retrieve their voting credentials.
“Don’t let this opportunity pass you by,” she urged. “If you are staying in Anambra and are of voting age, ensure you’re not left behind. This is your right and your responsibility.”
She reiterated that the PVC was the only legitimate tool through which citizens can express their political will.
“It is only with your PVC that you can translate your voice into real action. Don’t disenfranchise yourself. Find time to do what’s right. Get that PVC,” she appealed.
Dr. Soludo concluded her message with a prayer: “May Anambra continue to rise.”
Her remarks have resonated particularly with young and first-time voters, sparking renewed enthusiasm as the state prepares for its November 8, 2025, gubernatorial election.
