The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
has announced an extension of the deadline for collection of Permanent Voter
Cards (PVCs).
The latest extension is by two weeks.
On February 1, 2015,
INEC made its first extension of deadline for PVC
collection. Originally scheduled for Saturday January 31, 2015, collection was
then to end on until Sunday
February 8, 2015. On February 9, following
the postponement of the elections, INEC
again extended the deadline for PVC collection by four more
weeks until March 8, 2015.
Announcing the latest
extension, Kayode Idowu, chief press secretary to the INEC chairman, said the
exercise would continue until March 22, 2015, superseding the earlier
deadline of March 8, 2015.
“This latest extension
offers the last opportunity for duly registered persons to collect their PVCs
before the general election scheduled for March 28 and April 11, 2015,” he
said.
INEC urged “all registered
persons that are yet to collect their PVCs to use this last opportunity in
doing so, in order to participate in the forthcoming general election”.
