The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says
there are about 300,000 uncollected permanent voter cards (PVC) in Imo state.
Sylvia Agu, the resident electoral commissioner (REC) in
Imo, said this at a stakeholders’ meeting on Wednesday in Owerri, the state’s
capital.
She said the commission had received and started
distribution of 152,221 PVCs from the new registrations between January and
July 2022.
“Imo has nearly 300,000 uncollected PVCs in the 27 local
government areas from the previous Continuous Voter Register (CVR) exercise in
2011 to December 2022,” she said.
“We have recently
received and started distributing 85,729 PVCs from new registrations, 66,492
updates and transfers done from January to
July 2022.”
Agu said the incessant attacks on the commission’s offices
in the state are of “great concern”.
She said the attacks will not in any way disrupt the
electoral schedule in the state.
“These attacks are of
great concern to the commission,
considering its negative consequences on the commission’s preparations
for the 2023 general elections,” she added.
“If not, the damage on these offices would have been more
extensive.”
In the last few weeks, there have been repeated attacks on
INEC facilities in the state.
