ACJHR Praises INEC for Timely PVC Distribution Ahead of 2027
The African Centre for Justice and Human Rights (ACJHR) commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for its initiative to distribute newly printed Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) ahead of the 2027 general elections. ACJHR praised INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, SAN, for ensuring eligible Nigerians receive their voter cards on time.
The PVC collection will commence on October 9, 2026, at all 33 INEC Local Government Area offices in Oyo State, operating daily from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, excluding weekends and public holidays. The collection targets newly registered voters, those who transferred polling units, and voters needing replacements for lost or damaged PVCs.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner in Oyo State, Prof. Adeniran Tella, stated that PVCs must be collected in person. ACJHR emphasized the importance of early collection to avoid last-minute issues and urged citizens to actively participate in the democratic process by collecting their PVCs.
