PUBLIC ENLIGTHENMENT ON THE PERMANENT VOTERS CARD. As part of its preparation for the 2015 general elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC, would begin issuing permanent voters card on 7th-9th, November 2014 in the Plateau. The permanent voters card is the power of the electorate to choose credible people that will govern and represent them in the various political capacities. The PVC would be distributed to those who registered since 2011. Voters are expected to cross-check their names in the displayed voters register. Those who registered before but do not see their names in the displayed register are to re-register during the continous voters registration exercise. Those who have lost their cards or whose cards are damaged may apply for them to be replaced by writing to the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) through the INEC Electoral Officer of the local government area where they registered for their replacement well before the election. The INEC said that no replacement will be approved and no new card will be issued less than 30 days to the election. The PVC will be distributed at the Polling Unit (PU) level. At the end of the polling unit level distribution which will come to an end on 9th, Nov. 2014, uncollected PVCs will be taken to the local government office of INEC for subsequent distribution. I encourage everybody to go out and collect their voters card and urge those, who are yet to register to do so because this is the powerful tool in the hands of voter, with it you will be able to make your choice on election day. .
