The Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) has extended the ongoing collection of Permanent Voter Cards
(PVCs) in Anambra State to Sunday, November 2, 2025.
This was disclosed in a statement on Monday by INEC’s Director
of Voter Education and Publicity, Victoria Eta-Messi.
According to her, the extension followed several
appeals from citizens and stakeholders seeking more time for eligible voters to
collect their cards.
“The decision was reached at a meeting of the
Commission held on October 27, following several appeals from citizens and
stakeholders requesting additional time to enable eligible voters to collect
their cards,” Eta-Messi stated.
She explained that the exercise, earlier scheduled to
end on October 26, now runs from October 29 to November 2, 2025,
and covers individuals who registered during the recent Continuous Voter
Registration (CVR) exercise.
Eta-Messi urged registered voters who are yet to
collect their PVCs to visit the designated collection centres across the 326
registration areas (wards) in the state.
She also reiterated that PVC collection is strictly in
person, as collection by proxy is not allowed.
INEC commended the patience and cooperation of Anambra
residents and encouraged them to take advantage of the extended period to
prepare for the forthcoming governorship election.
