“The exercise is intended to enable citizens who have turned 18 years of age since the last registration as well as those who did not register during the last exercise to register as voters.
“It will allow those seeking transfer of their registration from one State to another or within a State from polling unit to another to do so.
“The exercise also intends to enable the distribution of uncollected Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to those who could not collect them before or since the last general elections.
“It will also enable citizens who have the Temporary Voter Cards (TVCs) but whose names are on the register to collect their PVCs,’’ - Mrs Amina Zakari, INEC National Commissioner
Background
- The Independent National Electoral Commission is billed to commence a nationwide continuous voter registration on April 27 across the 774 local government areas of the federation.
- Time is 9 a.m to 3 p.m weekdays excluding public holidays of course 'abi' you don't want the officials to rest too?
- Venue: the local government offices of the commission or such other suitable locations as would be made public by the State Offices of lNEC
Our take on the matter
- It is a good things that the registration is starting early
Conclusion
- Voting is your Civic duty and not social media rant about governance. Go and register, collect your PVCs and then come 2019, exercise your right at the polling booth.
