“The ongoing collection of PVCs will therefore continue and end on 5^th of February 2023”, INEC said, adding that it is the second time the commission will be extending PVC collection nationwide, and that this will be the last extension by the commission.

“Collection period has further been extended by an additional two hours and will start at 9am and end at 5pm daily including Saturdays and Sundays”, he said.

INEC said those that engaged in double registration should not bother to visit any of the commission’s office since it did not print PVCs for them.
