PVC: Multiple Registrants Will Not Get New Cards – INEC

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says Nigerians who registered for Permanent Voters Card (PVC) more than once will not be issued new cards.

INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, Obo Effanga said this on a television show on Thursday while commenting on complaints by some Nigerians who are unable to collect their PVCs since the Commission resumed distribution for new registrants.

For some people who said they were asked to check back for their PVCs in January 2023, the INEC REC wondered if they were really told that as he said there were few instances where the cards were not available and the people affected were only told to check back.

He said there are still a few more cards INEC is expecting this week and the next.

INEC has been encouraging all eligible voters to collect their PVC as only those with it would be allowed to vote during the 2023 general elections.
