The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Tuesday said it was set to distribute 4.8 million Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) in Lagos State.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the third phase of the distribution of the PVCs would take place in Lagos and some other states from November 7 to 9.

Addressing journalists in Lagos, INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr. Adekunle Ogunmola, said the Continuous Voters Registration (CVR) would also hold from November 12 to 17 in the state.

He urged Lagos residents to ensure that they collect their PVCs.

Ogunmola said the collection of the PVCs was Germaine to the success of the 2015 general election.

“We wish to call on voters in Lagos State to ensure that they obtain their cards and for those that have lost their temporary cards, arrangements have been to accommodate them.

“Those who lost their cards can fill an attestation form with their passport on it to enable them collect the cards”, he advised.
