The Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) has further extended the deadline for collection of Permanent
Voter Cards (PVCs) until March 8, 2015.
In a statement, yesterday, by the
Secretary to the Commission, Mrs Augusta Ogakwu, said the four weeks
extension of the deadline followed the rescheduling of the 2015 general
elections.
She stated that “the collection of
the cards will continue for four more weeks until March 8, 2015.
“The Commission expresses hope that
the extension will finally avail every registered voter, yet to collect his/her
PVC, the opportunity to do so in readiness for the general elections.’’
INEC had on Feb. 1 extended the
deadline for collection of PVCs to Feb. 8, 2015 following the earlier deadline
of Jan. 31, 2015.
INEC had also on Saturday, Feb. 7,
rescheduled the 2015 general elections by six weeks citing security concerns.
The Commission rescheduled the
Presidential and National Assembly elections from Feb. 14 to March 28, and
Governorship and state Houses of Assembly polls from Feb. 28 to April 11. (NAN)
