The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has extended the deadline for the collection of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to March 22.
INEC
originally slated Sunday, March 8, to be the last day for collection
but has now extended the period to allow more people get their PVCs.
The extension was announced via a statement
released by Kayode Idowu, the Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Attahiru Jega.
“This
latest extension offers the last opportunity for duly registered voters
to collect their PVCs before the general elections scheduled for March
28 and April 11,’’ the statement said.
This
marks the fourth extension of the PVC collection deadline after INEC
shifted forward the date from January 31 to February 8 and then to March
8.
