According to the commission, PVC collection will take place at voters’ respective Registration Areas (wards) from January 22 to January 26, between 9 am and 3 pm daily.
INEC added that eligible voters who are unable to collect their PVCs at their wards within the stipulated period would be able to do so thereafter at the INEC Area Council offices across the FCT.
It said, “Dear #FCT Resident, as we prepare for the February 21st Area Council Election, INEC is bringing your PVC closer to you. Don’t miss the chance to collect your PVC in the FCT.
“From Jan 22–26, 9 am –3 pm daily, visit your Registration Area (Ward) to collect your Permanent Voter Card (PVC). After the 26th, collection continues at INEC Area Council Offices.”
The commission encouraged residents of the FCT to participate in the exercise and urged them to track their collection using the link https://cvr.inecinigeria.org/Locator.
