The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has approved the extension of the ongoing collection of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) in Anambra State.
The decision was reached at a meeting of the Commission held following several appeals from citizens and stakeholders requesting additional time to enable eligible voters to collect their cards.
A statement by INEC Director, Voter Education and Publicity,
Victoria Eta-Messi, said the exercise, which was earlier scheduled to end on Sunday, 26 October 2025, has now been extended from Wednesday, 29 October to Sunday, 2 November 2025.
The statement said, “It covers persons who registered during the recent Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise in the State.
“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.
“The commission once again reiterates that PVC collection is strictly in person, as no collection by proxy is allowed.
INEC appreciates the patience, enthusiasm, and cooperation of the good people of Anambra State and urges all eligible voters to use this opportunity to collect their PVCs and get ready to participate in the forthcoming Governorship Election.”
