BEVERLY HILLS, February 09, (THEWILL) – Following the rescheduling of the 2015 general elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has once again extended the deadline for collection of Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) by registered voters.
INEC announced the extension in a statement issued on Monday and signed by the Secretary to the Commission, Mrs. Augusta C. Ogakwu.
According to the statement, the collection of the cards will continue for four more weeks until March 8.
INEC had on Saturday, February 7, rescheduled the 2015 general elections by six weeks due to security challenges. The national elections (i.e. Presidential and National Assembly) have been rescheduled to hold on March 28 while the state elections (Governorship and State Assembly) will now hold on April 11.
The Commission expressed the hope 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.
