The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has been urged to make the procedure for the collection of Permanent Voter’s Cards, PVCs, less cumbersome through the use of technology.
Some residents of Ogun State, who spoke with Radio Nigeria, advocated the need for a database of all printed PVCs as well as the possible pick-up points to be made available online to make it accessible to the people.
The residents expressed optimism that the measure would encourage more people to collect their PVCs and help to reduce the long hours spent by both INEC officials and registered voters to sort through large collections of cards abandoned at the local government headquarters of the commission.
In a reaction, the State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mr Niyi Ijalaye, who appealed to those yet to collect their PVCs, to visit INEC offices in their areas, said the commission was committed to making the process more convenient for the registered voters.
Mr Ijalaye, who announced that those who were registered in July 2022, would be able to get their PVCs before the end of November, reminded Nigerians that PVC remained the major requirement for them to vote during the 2023 general elections.
