The Independent National Electoral Commission, on Friday, announced an extension of the window for the collection of the Permanent Voter Card till Monday.


INEC made the announcement on its Twitter handle, revealing that PVC collection scheduled to end on Friday (today), would now extend over the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) till Monday when the process would end nationwide.

The statement on INECโ€™s handle read, โ€œThe collection of PVCs scheduled to end today Friday 8th February 2019 is hereby extended nationwide to Monday 11th February 2019. This will include Saturday and Sunday.

โ€œThe collection of PVCs will now take place from 9am to 6pm daily. All State offices are hereby directed to review the procedure for the collection of PVCs and dedicate all the staff of the Local Government offices to the collection process.

โ€œStaff are enjoined to be civil in attending to citizens and to escalate issues that they cannot immediately resolve to their superiors.


โ€œThe Commission wishes to reassure Nigerians that we will continue to take every necessary step to ensure that no registered voter is disenfranchised on account of non-collection of PVCs.

โ€œSimilarly, the Commission is taking urgent steps to address complaints of unavailability of the PVCs of some registered voters before the end the deadline for the collection.

โ€œWe wish to reiterate that after the deadline of Monday 11th February 2019, all uncollected PVCs will be recalled and deposited with the CBN for safe-keeping until after the general elections when the collection of cards and the continuous registration of voters will resume.โ€
