The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has commenced the distribution of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) ahead of the February 21 Area Council elections.
In a statement posted on its official X handle on Tuesday, INEC urged eligible voters in the FCT to take advantage of the exercise to collect their PVCs.
The commission explained that PVC collection will take place at voters’ respective Registration Areas (wards) from January 22 to January 26, daily between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
INEC added that voters who are unable to collect their PVCs during this period can do so afterward at INEC Area Council offices across the FCT.
“Dear #FCT Resident, as we prepare for the February 21st Area Council Election, INEC is bringing your PVC closer to you. Don’t miss the chance to collect your PVC,” the commission stated.
“From Jan 22–26, 9 a.m.–3 p.m. daily, visit your Registration Area (Ward) to collect your Permanent Voter Card (PVC). After the 26th, collection continues at INEC Area Council Offices.”
INEC also encouraged residents to track their PVC collection using the link https://cvr.inecinigeria.org/Locator.
The February 21 election, which will commence at 8:30 a.m., will feature 17 political parties competing across the FCT’s 62 wards.
