Steps

Tap a number when you finish a step

  1. Open INEC's official Continuous Voter Registration portal.

  2. Choose Transfers and sign in or create the account requested by the portal.

  3. Find and confirm your existing voter record.

  4. Choose the new voting location and complete the details requested for the transfer.

  5. Upload or capture any proof requested by the portal.

  6. Review the request, submit it and keep the application reference for tracking.

Watch out

  • A transfer is for someone who is already registered. Do not create a second voter registration.
  • INEC opens and closes registration services around election periods; check that transfers are currently available.

Tips

  • Use Locate Registration Centres on the same portal if you need to complete a step in person.
  • Check the portal later for the pickup location of an uncollected PVC.

Local variations

  • The same portal has separate services for a first registration, information update, and replacement of a lost or damaged PVC.
