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.
