The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it has received 471,384 online applications in the last seven days of its ongoing nationwide Continuous Voter Registration.
In its new statistics released on Monday, the Commission also revealed that a total of 4,225,749 persons have participated in the exercise as 931,768 persons completed both physical and online registration.
While the online registration commenced exactly eleven weeks ago, the physical exercise started seven weeks ago.

A total of 49,658 persons completed the CVR exercise as at 6 September in the state while the latest statistics put the figure at 138,795 ahead of its November governorship election.
The state distribution of the online CVR exercise released by INEC showed that Osun State maintained the highest number of fresh registrants with 402,617 followed by Edo and Bayelsa with 223,009 and 216,280 registrants respectively.
