The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has again extended the deadline for the collection of permanent voter cards (PVCs) by registered voters.
The extension, according to a statement signed by the Secretary to the Commission, Augusta Ogakwu in Abuja on Monday, follows the rescheduling of the general elections from the original dates of February 14 and 28 to the new dates of March 28 and April 11 for the Presidential/National Assembly and Governorship/House of Assembly polls respectively.
According to the electoral commission, the collection of the cards will continue for four more weeks until March 8, 2015.
“The Commission expresses hope that the extension will finally avail every registered voter, yet to collect his/her PVC, the opportunity to do so in readiness for the general elections.”
It will be recalled that INEC had on Feb. 1 extended the deadline for collection of PVCs to Feb. 8, 2015 following the earlier deadline of Jan. 31, 2015.
