The Independent National Electoral Commission has released the full list of centres for the collection of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) across the Federal Capital Territory ahead of the February 21 Area Council elections.
INEC announced on Tuesday that PVC collection will run from Thursday, January 22 to Monday, January 26, 2026, between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. daily, at designated Registration Area (Ward) centres across the six Area Councils of the FCT.
The Commission added that eligible voters who are unable to collect their PVCs during the ward-level exercise would be allowed to do so afterward at INEC Area Council offices.
In a post on its official X handle, INEC stated:
“Dear #FCT Resident, as we prepare for the February 21st Area Council Election, INEC is bringing your PVC closer to you.
“From Jan 22–26, 9am–3pm daily, visit your Registration Area (Ward) to collect your Permanent Voter Card (PVC). After the 26th, collection continues at INEC Area Council Offices.”
INEC reiterated that only registered voters with valid PVCs will be allowed to vote, adding that the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) will be deployed for the election.
