The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has clarified that it has no intention to destroy over six million uncollected Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) in its custody.
The Commission’s disclosure was on the heels of media reports that it was planning the destruction of the PVCs going back to the 2015 voter registration.
The electoral umpire in a post via its verified X handle, urged the public to discount the story.
It said: “Our attention has been drawn to a newspaper report that the Commission is contemplating the destruction of over six million uncollected Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) going back to the 2015 voter registration.
“The report is incorrect. At no time did the Commission contemplate the destruction of uncollected PVCs. The public is advised to discountenance the story.”
