The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has yet again, postponed the collection of permanent voter cards.
As a result of the rescheduling of the 2015 general elections, INEC has extended the deadline for collection of PVC by registered voters for four more weeks.
A statement released by the Secretary to the Commission, Augusta Ogakwu, revealed that PVC collection will then hold until March 8th, 2015.
INEC had on Saturday, February 7, rescheduled the 2015 general elections by six weeks, citing security challenges.
The statement said: “The national elections (i.e. Presidential and National Assembly) have been rescheduled to hold on March 28th 2015 while the state elections (Governorship and State Assembly) will now hold on April 11th 2015.”
“The Commission hopes that this extension will finally avail every registered person yet to collect his/her PVC the opportunity to do so in readiness for the general elections.”
