Many PVCs still unclaimed, one week to elections

Even with the general elections only a few days away, some people are yet to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVC).

Well before now, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had drawn public attention to the fact that there are many uncollected PVCs in many states across the country.

The uncollected PVCs in states, as reported by INEC, are in their thousands, which, when combined all over the country run into millions.

This is quite huge, when taken into consideration that a few thousands votes could make a significant difference in a keenly contested election.
