The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced that the collection of Permanent Voter Card (PVC) for those who registered during the recent Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise would begin on Wednesday, October 22 ahead of the November 8 Anambra governorship election,
The electoral body added that registered voters who participated in the recently concluded CVR exercise are encouraged to visit the Registration Area where they originally registered to collect their PVCs.
Director, Voter Education and Publicity, Mrs Victoria Eta-Messi in a statement issued Saturday said that PVC collection is strictly in person, adding that there would be no collection by proxy under any circumstances.
She maintained that all registered voters are urged to ensure they collect their PVCs within the specified period to be eligible to vote in the forthcoming Governorship Election in Anambra State.
Etta-Messi noted: “The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) wishes to inform the public that Permanent Voter Card (PVC) collection for those who registered during the recent Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise in Anambra State will take place: from Wednesday, 22nd to Sunday, 26th October 2025.”
Meanwhile, the Commission said it would conduct a Mock Accreditation Exercise on Saturday, 25th October 2025 in selected polling units across the three senatorial districts of the State.
She stressed that this exercise would allow INEC to test the upgraded Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), assess its response time, and test the uploading of results on the INEC Result Viewing Portal ahead of the main election at designated polling units.
Etta-Messi said registered voters in these polling units are encouraged to participate actively.
She added: “Their involvement will help INEC fine-tune operational and technological processes ahead of the Governorship Election.
“INEC remains committed to operational efficiency, transparency, and the confidence of all stakeholders as preparations for the 2025 Anambra State Governorship Election Continue.”
