ABUJA: The Independent National Electoral Commission INEC has cautioned prospective voters in Edo and Ondo states against trying to collect their Permanent Voter Cards PVCs by proxy, saying it won’t allow it.
The Commission has concluded plans to resume the Continuous Voter Registration in the two States to enable eligible citizens who are not registered voters to do so. Similarly, those who are registered voters also have the opportunity to transfer their registration from other States of the Federation to Edo and Ondo States or from one location to another within the states. Lost or damaged voters’ cards will be replaced during the exercise.
“However, no PVCs will be collected by proxy. Registered voters should come in person to collect their cards. Again, we seek for the support of CSOs in encouraging voters to locate and pick up their PVCs as was done in the past”.
