In a bid to enable eligible Anambra voters collect their cards ahead the November 8 governorship election, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has extended the ongoing collection of the Permanent Voter Card, PVC to November 2.
Director, Voter Education and Publicity in the state, INEC, Mrs Victoria Eta-Messi, who made the disclosure in a statement on Monday in Awka, said, “The INEC has approved the extension of the ongoing collection of PVC in Anambra from October 29 to November 2.
According to her, “The decision was reached at a meeting of the commission held on October 27, following several appeals from citizens and stakeholders requesting additional time to enable eligible voters collect their cards.”
Eta-Messi said registered voters who are yet to collect their PVCs are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to do so at the designated collection centres across the 326 Registration Areas (Wards) in the state.
She said the exercise covered persons who registered during the recent Continuous Voter Registration, CVR, in the state, adding that the collection of the PVCs must be in person, as no collection by proxy would be allowed.
