The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed Monday, December 12 to Sunday, January 22, 2023 as dates for the collection of PVCs in all the 774 local government offices of the commission throughout the federation.

The nation’s electoral body also resolved to devolve PVC collection to the 8,809 registration areas/wards from Friday 6th to Sunday 15th January 2023.

It said those that are unable to collect their PVCs at the local government offices can do so at the registration areas/electoral wards.

This was disclosed in a statement by the national commissioner and chairman Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, yesterday in Abuja.

Okoye said after January 15, 2023, the exercise would revert to the local government offices of the commission until January 22, 2023.

Consequently, Okoye said all eligible and valid registrants can collect their PVCs from 9.00 am to 3.00 pm daily, including Saturdays and Sundays.

Similarly, he said RECs and EOs have also been directed to set up help desks to assist registrants with complaints about their PVCs or with the PVC collection procedure for immediate redress.
