The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has extended the deadline for collection of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) across the country by additional two weeks.
The deadline is now March 22, that is just six days to the reschuled presidential election.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the INEC chairman, Kayode Idowu who said that the collection will continue until March 22nd 2015, superseding the earlier deadline of March 08th 2015.
According to the statement, “This latest extension offers the last opportunity for duly registered persons to collect their PVCs before the general elections scheduled for March 28th and April 11th, 2015.
“INEC hereby calls on 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 elections.”
