INEC’s PVC Distribution Exercise Ends In 12 States

 

The second phase of the distribution of permanent voter’s cards has ended in 12 states of the federation.

The exercise is to enable voters who have been duly registered to exchange a temporary voter card for a permanent one.

The process is designed to allow voters to exercise their civic rights in the coming elections as their names have been confirmed in INEC’s updated voters register, planned to be used for the 2015 general elections.

Isolated distribution of the cards have taken place in states where staggered elections have taken place in the past few months including the just concluded Osun election.

Voters in Lagos and in about ten other states are expected to take part in the third phase.

The first phase of the PVC distribution exercise took place in May in Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa and nine other states, but the second phase ended on Sunday, August 17, in Cross River State and 11 others.
