The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC will distribute Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs to eligible voters in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja from the 4th of March to 10th of March.
This Friday's issue of the commission’s daily bulletin indicated that the exercise would take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
The bulletin explained that the exercise would enable eligible voters to collect their PVCs ahead of the forthcoming FCT Area Council elections billed for March 19, 2016.
“The PVCs will be distributed at the Polling Units (PUs) for the first three days of the exercise- March 4 to March 6.
“Thereafter, the distribution will be done at the Ward level for the last four days, March 7 to March 10.’’
It also said that after the seven-day exercise, distribution of PVCs would continue at the various Area Councils from March 14 to March 16.
The bulletin stated that collection of PVCs must be in person, not by proxy.
“A registrant shall present himself/herself to the Distribution Officer (DO) who checks the Distribution List to ensure that his/her name is on the list.
“The DO shall check the stack of PVCs to ensure the card is available.
“The DO shall retrieve the Temporary Voter Card (TVC) and handover the PVC to the registrant who shall be requested to thumbprint and sign the appropriate portion of the Distribution List.”
The Electoral Officers are mandated to supervise the exercise at the various local government areas.
