The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says there are about 300,000 uncollected permanent voter cards (PVC) in Imo state.
Sylvia Agu, the resident electoral commissioner (REC) in Imo, said this at a stakeholders’ meeting on Wednesday in Owerri, the state’s capital.
She said the commission had received and started distribution of 152,221 PVCs from the new registrations between January and July 2022.
She said, “Imo has nearly 300,000 uncollected PVCs in the 27 local government areas from the previous Continuous Voter Register (CVR) exercise in 2011 to December 2022.
“We have recently received and started distributing 85,729 PVCs from new registrations, 66,492 updates and transfers done from January to July 2022.”
Agu said the incessant attacks on the commission’s offices in the state are of “great concern”
