The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has extended the ongoing Permanent Voter Card, PVC, collection exercise in Anambra State until November 2 to give eligible voters more time to collect their cards.

Victoria Eta-Messi, INEC’s Director of Voter Education and Publicity, announced this in a statement issued on Monday.

She noted, “INEC has approved the extension of the ongoing collection of PVC in Anambra from October 29 to November 2.

“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 to collect their cards,” she said

Eta-Messi urged registered voters who have not yet collected their PVCs to use the extended period to do so at the designated collection centres in all 326 registration areas (wards) across Anambra State.

She further stated that the exercise includes individuals who registered during the recent Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) in the state.
