Vital Information About Your PVC And Voter Registration

Below are critical information about the Permanent Voters Card (PVC) and voter registration.

Gatekeepers News reports that here are crucial information about the ongoing Continous Voters Registration (CVR) exercise.

These information will prevent many from visiting registration centres and allow fresh registrations.

Here are answers to the frequently asked questions:

1. Is there anything like PVC validation?

There is nothing like PVC validation. The PVC card does not expire and does not need revalidation. If you check your PVC, you will see that it does not bear any expiry date.

2. Do I need to visit the registration centre to transfer from one polling unit to another?

If you are a registered voter but want to 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗦𝗙𝗘𝗥 to another Polling Unit, you can do that online. You need not waste your time at the INEC registration centre.

3. How do I update my record?

If you are a registered voter and wish to 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘 your records, you can do it online. If it involves a change of name (like for married women) then you are expected to upload evidence of a change of name.

4. Lost or Damaged PVC

If you are a registered voter but your card is 𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗧 or 𝗗𝗔𝗠𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗗 and needs 𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧, you can do it online.

5. Who is to visit the registration centres?

Only two categories of people are actually required to visit INEC registration centres.
(a) 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗩𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗥𝘀- Nigerians 18 years and above who have never registered before.
(b) Registered voters who have had issues with Accreditation in previous elections.
These are the two categories we need to capture their biometrics.
