Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) and 185 Nigerians have filed a lawsuit against the Independent National Electoral Commission

They want the court to declare the failure of the electoral body to extend the deadline for voter registration unconstitutional.

But the commission did not extend the online pre-registration which ended May 30 2022 and the Continuous Voter Registration ending 30 June 2022. The suit is asking the court for an order to compel INEC to extend voter registration by a minimum of three months. The applicants insist voters are critical stakeholders in the electoral process and that treating all eligible Nigerian fairly would advance the people’s right to vote.
