The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has extended the collection of Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) by four weeks.
The commission said the extension was as a result of the rescheduling of the 2015 general elections. A statement issued yesterday by the Secretary to the Commission, Mrs. Augusta Ogakwu, said the deadline for the issuance of PVCs to registered voters is now March 8. INEC had on Saturday, February 7, rescheduled the 2015 general elections by six weeks due to security challenges.
The Presidential and National Assembly have been rescheduled to hold on March 28 while the Governorship and State Assembly elections will now hold on April 11.
“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,” Ogakwu said.
