As part of the consequences of the
rescheduling of the 2015 general election, the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) has announced the extension of the deadline for the
collection of Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) by registered voters. According to
a statement signed by the commission’s Secretary, Mrs. Augusta Ogakwu, the
collection of the cards would continue for four more weeks until March 8. INEC
had at the weekend, rescheduled the 2015 general election by six weeks due to
security challenges. The national elections (i.e. presidential and National
Assembly) were rescheduled to hold on March 28 while the state elections
(governorship and state assembly) will now hold on April 11.
