INEC: OVER 300,000 PVCS UNCOLLECTED IN IMO

Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Imo State has said over 300,000 permanent voter cards (PVCs) are yet to be uncollected in the 27 local governments of the state.

The Public Relations Officer, Dr. Chinenye Chijioke-Osuji, made this known yesterday in a statement she issued in Owerri.

She urged people to pick their PVCs, to enable them vote in the coming general election.

The commission appealed to the citizens to take advantage of the ongoing display of the preliminary register of voters to cross check the register and put in their claims and objections where necessary, saying this would enable INEC to come up with a clean register for the elections.

"INEC in Imo State craves the indulgence of the citizens, please, as this is a civic responsibility we owe ourselves," the statement said.
