The Independent National Electoral Commission INEC Oyo State has begun the devolution of the Collection of Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) to 351 Registration Areas/ Ward Collation Centers in all the 33 INEC Local Government Area Offices ahead of preparations for the forthcoming General Election in the State.
In a statement by the Resident Electoral Commissioner in the State, Dr. Adeniran Rahmon Tella, noted that the exercise commenced on Friday 6th January to Sunday 15th January 2023 from 9 am to 3 pm daily, including Saturdays and Sundays.
Dr. Tella stated further that the exercise was for all eligible valid registrants, those that applied for the replacement of lost, damaged, or defaced PVCs, and those that registered prior to the 2019 General Election and were yet to collect their cards.
The REC informed that collecting PVCs would revert to all 33 INEC Local Government Area Offices until 22nd Jan. 2023.
He, however, implored the electorate to make good use of the exercise as collection would not be by proxy.
