Anambra guber poll: INEC extends PVC collection deadline
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced an extension of the ongoing Permanent Voter Card (PVC) collection exercise in Anambra State, allowing more time for registered voters to obtain their cards ahead of the upcoming governorship election.
A statement by the commission informed that the decision was reached during the Commission’s meeting on Monday, following numerous appeals from citizens and stakeholders requesting additional time for collection.
Initially slated to end on Sunday, October 26, the exercise will now continue from Wednesday, October 29, to Sunday, November 2, 2025.
The extension applies to individuals who registered during the recent Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise in the state.
INEC urged registered voters who have yet to collect their PVCs to seize this extended window and visit any of the 326 designated collection centres across the state’s Registration Areas (Wards).
The Commission reiterated that PVC collection must be done in person, as collection by proxy remains prohibited.
