INEC EXTENDS PVC COLLECTION DEADLINE TO 22ND OF MARCH 2015

The Independent Na­tional Electoral Com­mission (INEC) has extended the deadline for collection of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) across the country, to March 22, 2015.

While announcing the sus­pension of the earlier March 8 deadline, the Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Kayode Idowu, pointed out in a press release that the exten­sion will offer the last oppor­tunity to the eligible and duly registered persons to pick their PVCs.

“This latest extension of­fers the last opportunity for duly registered persons to collect their PVCs before the general elections scheduled for March 28 and April 11, 2015. INEC hereby calls on registered persons that are yet to collect their PVCs to use this last opportunity in doing so, in order to participate in the forthcoming general elec­tions,” Kayode stated.
