INEC considers destroying over six million uncollected Permanent Voter Cards.

The Independent National Electoral Commission plans to destroy over six million uncollected Permanent Voter Cards after a decade of unclaimed cards. This move aims to prevent voter card misappropriation and ensure the integrity of future elections.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) plans to destroy over six million uncollected Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), a policy aimed at addressing the issue of idle voter registrations that have been left unclaimed for over a decade. According to sources, this move is part of INEC's efforts to clean up the voter register and ensure that only eligible citizens are able to participate in future elections. The destruction of the PVCs would render these cards unusable and prevent them from being used for fraudulent purposes. This initiative aims to reduce the risk of voter impersonation and maintain the integrity of Nigeria's electoral process.
