INEC DENIES PLANS TO DESTROY UNCOLLECTED PERMANENT VOTER CARDS. (PHOTO).



The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has debunked reports making the rounds that it is planning to destroy uncollected permanent voter cards, PVCs.


A statement by INEC, on Sunday, described the report as false, advising members of the public to ignore it.


“Our attention has been drawn to a newspaper report that the Commission is contemplating the destruction of over six million uncollected Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) going back to the 2015 voter registration.


“The report is incorrect. At no time did the Commission contemplate the destruction of uncollected PVCs. The public is advised to discountenance the story,” the statement read.


INEC, in December 2024, proposed the use of computer-generated slips for voter accreditation during elections.


The chairman of the Commission, Mahmood Yakubu, had said the introduction of the bimodal voter accreditation system, BVAS, calls for a review of the use of the PVC as the sole means of voter identification on election day.


According to him, the commission would soon approach the national assembly with its recommendations for electoral reform.


Forty-eight hours before the 2023 presidential election, the commission announced that 87,209,007 PVCs had been collected across the country.


The PVCs collection data meant that 93.3 percent of 93,469,008 registered voters had collected their PVCs.


However, 6,259,229 PVCs, representing 6.7 percent of PVCs, remain uncollected.
