He said INEC issued 2,800,000 Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to the state.

The commissioner further said that 2,740,000 PVCs had been distributed to the eligible voters across the state, adding that 60,000 persons had not collected theirs.

“We are suspecting that the 60,000 PVCs yet to be collected may belong to the category of voters who may have been transferred out of the state.

“Nonetheless, we ensure that the PVCs are readily available with us in case their owners turn up anytime,’’ he said.
