BREAKING: Voters without permanent cards won't vote in 2015 - INEC
Independent National Electoral Commission on Monday in Abuja said
that voters who did not collect their Permanent Voter Cards by December
2014, “would be disenfranchised in the 2015 general elections.”
The commission also called on Nigerians not to lose hope in its ability to deliver free, fair and credible elections in 2015.
The Director of Voter Registry in INEC, Mr. Emmanuel Akem; Director (Voter Education, Publicity, Gender and CSOs), Mr. Oluwole Uzzi; and the commission’s Head of Department (FCT Voter Education), Mr. Okezie Nwankwo, made the appeal during a one-day Town Hall meeting on the continuous voter registration and distribution of Permanent Voters Cards.
The event was jointly organised by the Youth Initiative for Advocacy, Growth and Advancement, Centre for Democracy and Development, McArthur Foundation and Open Society Initiative for West Africa.
Akem said voters that just registered in the FCT would have their PVCs in 30 days, adding that the observations and complaints by prospective voters were being addressed.
