INEC extends deadline for PVC collection again
The deadline for collecting Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) has been extended by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to February 5, 2023.
The deadline for the collection of PVCs had already been extended by INEC, but a National Commissioner working with Festus Okoye, the electoral umpire, stated the date has now been advanced by one week.
The action, according to him, was taken after a meeting of INEC's Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs).
“Arising from reports from the various States and discussions with Resident Electoral Commissioners, the Commission has decided to further extend PVC collection in all its Local Government Offices nationwide by an additional one week. The ongoing collection of PVCs nationwide will therefore continue and end on 5th February 2023,†Okoye said in a statement on Saturday.
“This is the second time the Commission is extending PVC collection nationwide and this will be the last extension of the exercise. The collection period has further been extended by an additional two hours and will start at 9 am and end at 5 pm daily including Saturdays and Sundays.â€
