Persons involved in double, multiple registrations won’t collect PVCs – INEC
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has said that those who registered twice or more will not receive voter’s cards.
The Informant247 earlier reported that the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC has extended the deadline for the collection of Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs by 1 week.
The Informant247 gathered that the new deadline is February 5.
It was also gathered this might the last time the electoral body would extend the collection of PVCs ahead of the forthcoming general elections.
The National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, of INEC, Festus Okoye, in a statement released on Saturday confirmed the development.
It said: “Arising from reports from the various States and discussions with Resident Electoral Commissioners, the Commission has decided to further extend PVC collection in all its Local Government Offices nationwide by an additional one week.
“The ongoing collection of PVCs nationwide will therefore continue and end on 5th February 2023.
“Those that engaged in double and multiple registration should not bother visiting any of the Commission’s Offices as the Commission did not print their PVCs.”
