INEC Launches Voter Registration and PVC Collection in Ekiti

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Ekiti has initiated preparations for the display of the Preliminary Register of Voters (PRVs) and the collection of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) ahead of the 2027 general elections. This was announced during a stakeholders’ engagement held at the INEC State Office in Ado-Ekiti.

The display and collection will take place from October 9 to October 15, 2026, with daily operations from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Registration Areas (Wards) and Local Government Area (LGA) headquarters. Mr. Tiamiyu Arowolo, representing the Resident Electoral Commissioner, emphasized the importance of this exercise for electoral integrity and instructed staff to treat all citizens equally.

Dr. Rahman Badru urged participants to campaign against vote-buying, while Mrs. Titilayo Oderinde clarified that objections to the register must be supported by evidence. Mrs. Oluwakemi Akomolede from the NOA described the initiative as timely, addressing issues from the June 20 governorship election, and pledged to enhance public awareness for effective participation.
