Anambra Guber : INEC Extends Collection Of PVCs

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has approved the extension of the ongoing collection of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) in Anambra State.

A statement by INEC’s Director, Voter Education and Publicity, Mrs Victoria Etta- Messi indicates that the decision was due to several appeals from citizens and stakeholders requesting additional time to enable eligible voters to collect their cards.

It states that the exercise, which was earlier scheduled to end on Sunday, 26th of this month, has now been extended from Wednesday, 29th October to Sunday, 2nd November 2025.

It emphasises that those who will benefit from this extension include persons who registered during the recent Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) in the State.

It adds that 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 Anambra State.

INEC once again reiterates that PVC collection is strictly in person, as no collection by proxy will be allowed.

It urges all eligible voters to use this opportunity to collect their PVCs and get ready to participate in the forthcoming governorship election scheduled for Saturday, the 8th of next month.
