INEC calls for collection of 360,794 uncollected PVCs in Osun
The Independent National Electoral Commission has urged Osun residents who have yet to collect their Permanent Voter Cards to take advantage of the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration to do so.
The INEC’s spokesperson in Osun, Musa Olurode, made the call in a statement on Tuesday, adding that 360,794 PVCs were lying at the commission’s office.
“INEC in Osun is using this medium to inform the general public that the ongoing voter registration exercise provides yet another opportunity for people yet to collect their PVCs to do so.
“More than 360,794 PVC are uncollected in Osun. INEC under the leadership of Dr Mutiu Agboke is requesting owners of these cards to use this opportunity for the ongoing CVR to collect their cards.
“The PVCs shall be available for collection at the 30 INEC local government offices and the Area office at Modakeke from 9a.m to 3p.m daily,” he said.
He urged those who have not registered before to register their names and advised against multiple registrations.
