2027 Elections: INEC sets October 8 for PVC distribution
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said that it is planning to start distribution of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to eligible registered voters in the next three days.
Professor Joash Amupitan, Chairman of INEC, made this known during an engagement meeting with journalists in Abuja.
The exercise will cover voters who recently completed registration, transferred their voting locations or applied for replacement of damaged PVCs.
The commission said the distribution is aimed at ensuring eligible voters receive their cards ahead of the 2027 general elections.
According to INEC, the distribution is part of ongoing preparations to ensure that eligible Nigerians can participate in the electoral process.
He noted that the Commission is strengthening the use of technology to ensure that stolen, lost or compromised voter cards cannot be used by unauthorised persons to interfere with the electoral process.
Prof Amupitan warned political parties and their supporters against disrupting the campaigns, rallies and other activities of rival parties ahead of the 2027 general elections.
