The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has dismissed reports suggesting plans to destroy uncollected Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs). In a statement released on Sunday, the Commission described the claims as false and urged the public to disregard them.
“Our attention has been drawn to a newspaper report that the Commission is contemplating the destruction of over six million uncollected Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) going back to the 2015 voter registration. The report is incorrect. At no time did the Commission contemplate the destruction of uncollected PVCs. The public is advised to discountenance the story,” the statement read.
