INEC expresses joy over PVC collection turnout
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has expressed their joy with the rate at which Nigerians turned out to collect their PVC which is the Permanent Voters Card.
The collection of this card is done ahead or in preparation for the upcoming general elections next month.
The INEC national commissioner and also the Chairman of Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, spoke about this on Friday, January 6th, 2023.
“The rate of PVC collection varies from one state to the other and from one place to the other. Some of the Resident Electoral Commissioners are sending daily reports to the Commission, some of them are sending reports every two days, and some are sending every week. So, we are still collating these reports.
“The National Commissioners are also supervising the collection of PVCs in the states that they supervise. But as of today, we are really encouraged by the turnout of people coming to collect. Community leaders are mobilizing, market women are mobilizing, religious leaders and traditional leaders are also mobilizing and people are coming out to collect their PVCs,” Okoye said.
These officials in addition, mentioned that the commission did not print out OVC for anyone who did more than one registration or multiple registrations.
