The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has extended the ongoing collection of the Permanent Voter Card (PVC) in Anambra State to November 2, 2025 to enable eligible voters to collect their cards.
Victoria Eta-Messi, Director, Voter Education and Publicity of INEC in the state, made the disclosure in a statement issued on Monday.
Eta-Messi said: “The INEC has approved the extension of the ongoing collection of PVC in Anambra from October 29 to November 2.
“The decision was reached at a meeting of the commission held on October 27, following several appeals from citizens and stakeholders requesting additional time to enable eligible voters to collect their cards.”
According to her, registered voters who are yet to collect their PVCs are encouraged to take advantage of this extended window to do so at the designated collection centres across the 326 Registration Areas (Wards) in the state.
Eta-Messi said that the exercise covered persons who registered during the recent Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) in the state.
She said that the collection of the PVCs must be in person, as no collection by proxy would be allowed.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the state governorship election will be held on November 8, 2025.
