The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has commended the response of voting public in Ondo State for the interest so far shown in the collection of Permanent Voters Card (PVC).
Over a period of five days (17-21 October 2024), the Commission made the Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) from the last Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) in Ondo State available for collection in all the 203 Wards across the State.
The Commission announced that at the end of the five-day period, 55,859 cards were personally collected by new registrants as well as applicants for transfer and replacement of lost or damaged cards as provided by law.
This figure represents 62.2 per cent of the 89,777 cards available for collection.
This is the highest percentage of PVCs collected in five days in Ondo State since the Commission introduced the CVR in 2015.
A detailed breakdown of the collection by Local Government Areas (LGAs) has been uploaded to the Commission’s website and social media platforms for public information.
Meanwhile, the collection will resume in its 18 LGA offices in Ondo State from today Wednesday 23rd to Tuesday 29th October 2024 from 9.00am to 5.00pm daily (including the weekend). Detailed information on the locations of our LGA offices in the State is already available on our website.
The INEC appealed to the remaining voters to pick up their PVCs in person from our LGA offices. The Commission reiterates its policy that no cards will be collected by proxy.
