The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) National Commissioner, Information and Publicity Officer Mr Festus Okoye has revealed that the Permanent Voters Cards (PVC) for persons captured in the ongoing Continuous Voters Registration (CVR) will be ready for collection soon.
Speaking at the just concluded CVR exercise he noted that the commission has to bring the exercise to a close, to enable the commission to cross-check data collated.
He said the cards registered between January and June would be ready in October, while those registered from July 1 to July 31 would be ready for collection in November.
“This will enable our system operators to eliminate double and multiple registrations before we produce the PVCs for distribution.
“The law requires that we display the register in the 774 Local Government Areas and 8, 809 registration areas for claims and objections.
“And we have to print the PVCs, truck them to all the local government areas across the country for collection,” he said.
Okoye stated that it would be useless for people to register and fail to receive their PVC.
