INEC to Distribute PVCs for 2027 Elections in Days

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will commence the distribution of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to eligible registered voters within the next three days as part of its preparations for the 2027 general elections. This distribution will benefit Nigerians who have recently registered, transferred their voting locations, or applied for replacement of damaged PVCs.

INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Amupitan, announced this initiative during a strategic engagement meeting with journalists in Abuja. He stated that the distribution aims to ensure that eligible Nigerians can access their voter cards and participate in the electoral process.

Amupitan also highlighted that INEC is enhancing its use of technology to prevent unauthorized use of stolen, lost, or compromised voter cards. Furthermore, he warned political parties and their supporters against disrupting the campaign activities of rival parties, urging them to allow peaceful campaigning as the country approaches the 2027 general elections.
