The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, says the collection of Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs, will begin on October 9, 2026 across the country.
INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Amupitan, made this
announcement on Monday in Kaduna at the North-West Zonal Interactive Meeting
with Staff and Readiness Assessment for the 2027 General Election.
Amupitan said the recent voter registration exercise
produced over 10.7 million new registrations.
He called for the elimination of PVC distribution
bottlenecks at the Local Government Area level to prevent the
disenfranchisement of eligible citizens.
In the same vein, he disclosed that INEC was refining its
technological systems, including voter verification and result transmission
processes, as well as its Result Management Systems, including the recently
introduced eEC8A.
The commission, he said, was also implementing a
‘Zero-Failure’ approach to logistics, covering early deployment of materials,
movement, security coordination and training of ad-hoc personnel.
