The Independent National Electoral Commission has taken delivery of another batch of Permanent Voter Cards in Ondo State as preparations for the 2027 general elections gather pace.
The cards arrived at the commission’s state headquarters in Alagbaka, Akure, early on Saturday and were received by the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr Mutiu Agboke.
Agboke said INEC officials from various local government areas had commenced counting and sorting the cards to ensure proper documentation ahead of their distribution.
He explained that the newly delivered PVCs would be moved to the respective local government offices for collection by their owners, alongside cards received in previous batches.
The REC also disclosed that the commission was expecting more PVCs and other non-sensitive electoral materials in the coming days as preparations for the general elections continued.
He reaffirmed INEC’s commitment to conducting an orderly and seamless PVC collection exercise across the state.
Agboke urged eligible voters who were yet to collect their cards to visit the designated collection centres and obtain them before the 2027 elections.
He stressed that collecting PVCs was essential for eligible Nigerians to exercise their constitutional right to vote in the forthcoming polls.
