#Still on TemporaryVotersCard #JegaReacts Jega said, “The commission has taken delivery of additional PVCs from the contractor, and we are positive that we will have all outstanding cards with us by 28 January, 2015. “For the avoidance of doubt, possession of PVCs is a strict condition for anyone intending to vote in the 2015 elections.” Asked about the resolutions passed by the House of Representatives, asking the commission to use TVCs, he said he was not aware of such resolution. He nevertheless said the commission was working with the intent of using only PVCs for the elections. Jega regretted that many Nigerians refused to collect their PVCs, adding that in order to address this, the commission had directed all resident electoral commissioners to further decentralise the distribution of the cards to the ward level. The time for the distribution, he added, had also been fixed from 8.30am to 5.30pm, from Monday to Saturday.
