The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has disclosed that 55,859 cards were personally collected by new registrants as well as applicants for transfer and replacement of lost or damaged cards in Ondo State between October 17-21, 2024.
It said over the five-day period, it made the Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) from the last Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) in the state available for collection in all the 203 wards across the state.
The figure represents 62.2% of the 89,777 cards available for collection.
The National Commissioner and Chairman of Information and Voter Education Committee at the commission, Mr Sam Olumekun, said in a press release: “This is the highest percentage of PVCs collected in five days in Ondo State since the commission introduced the CVR in 2015.”
He added: “A detailed breakdown of the collection by Local Government Areas (LGAs) has been uploaded to our website and social media platforms for public information.”
Meanwhile, the collection will resume in our 18 LGA offices in the state from tomorrow Wednesday to Tuesday, from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm daily (including the weekend).
Detailed information on the locations of our LGA offices in the state is already available on INEC’s website.
“We appeal to the remaining voters to pick up their PVCs in person from our LGA offices.
“The commission reiterates its policy that no cards will be collected by proxy,” Sam Olumekun said.
