The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to immediately publish a clear nationwide timetable for the production, distribution and collection of Permanent Voter Cards, warning that no Nigerian who has successfully registered should be disenfranchised by administrative delays.
The National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, In a statement said millions of Nigerians who participated in the voter registration exercise deserve certainty about when and where their PVCs will be available.
ADC called on INEC to immediately publish, state by state, the number of newly registered voters, PVCs produced, cards distributed, outstanding cards, and designated collection centres.
The opposition noted that the Commission must also intensify public information campaigns and decentralise collection wherever practicable to ensure that distance, bureaucracy, and poor communication do not become barriers to participation.
The ADC said it would mobilise its structures nationwide to monitor PVC distribution and document complaints from registered voters unable to obtain their cards.
