| People strugling to collect their Permanent Voter Cards at St. Kizito Memorial Primary School, Fagba, Iju Ishaga, Lagos... on Friday |
Collection of Permanent Voter Card from the Independent National Electoral Commission closes today.
INEC had on March 8, 2015, extended the
deadline for collection of the card across the country by additional two
weeks – from March 8 to March 22.
The card is a prerequisite for an eligible voter to cast his vote in the elections.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary
to the Chairman of INEC, Mr. Kayode Idowu, had said the latest
extension offered the last opportunity for duly registered voters to
collect their PVCs before the general elections on March 28 and April
11.
“INEC hereby calls on registered persons
that are yet to collect their PVCs to use this last opportunity in
doing so, in order to participate in the forthcoming general elections,”
Idowu added.
The electoral commission had said it had succeeded in distributing 80.24 per cent of PVCs to their owners as of March 4.
The figure indicated that 55,232,874 out of the 68,833,476 registered voters had picked their cards.
