INEC devolves PVC collection to 193 Cross River wards
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has devolved the ongoing collection of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) from its local government offices to the 193 wards in Cross River.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by Anthonia Nwobi, INEC’s spokesperson in Cross River.
Ms Nwobi said the devolvement of PVC collection to the 193 registration areas or wards in Cross River would last from January 6 to 15.
According to her, the exercise became necessary to enable persons unable to collect their PVCs at the LGA offices of the commission to do so in their wards.
“Consequent upon the ongoing collection of PVCs in all the INEC LGA Offices in Cross River, the general public is hereby informed that the commission has devolved PVC collection to all the 193 wards in the state.
“After January 15, that is from Monday, January 16, the exercise will revert to the 18 INEC LGA offices in Cross River until Sunday, January 22,” she said.
The commission had, on December 12, 2022, begun the collection of PVCs at its LGA offices.
She called on eligible and valid registrants yet to collect their PVCs, including persons who applied for transfer or replacement of their cards, to visit their wards between 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. from Monday to Sunday to collect their cards.
Ms Nwobi said collection by proxy would not be allowed while reiterating that the last day for PVC collection would be January 22.
