The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said that Nigerians who registered for Permanent Voters Card (PVC) more than once will not be issued the new cards.
This was disclosed by INEC’s Resident Electoral Commissioner, Obo Effanga, during an interview on Channels Television on Thursday, December 15.
Reacting to complaints from some Nigerians who have been unable to collect their PVCs since the Commission resumed distribution for new registrants, Effanga said;
“Remember that before now INEC had issued information that those who attempted to do multiple registrations, subsequent registrations were cancelled.
“Some of these persons who said they didn’t collect their cards actually fall under that and they won’t tell you that’s what happened.”
INEC resumed the distribution of PVCs across Nigeria on Monday and is expected to end it on Sunday, 22 January, 2023.
The exercise is part of the commission’s preparation for the 2023 general elections.
