The chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Mahmood Yakubu, has expressed frustration over uncollected Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) in Ondo state, urging the owners of 200,000 to come and collect their PVCs.
The INEC chairman speaking at a meeting of the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Elections Security (ICCES), emphasised that voters will be disenfranchised if they fail to retrieve their PVC’s, describing it as a betrayal of democracy.
Yakubu however expressed delight that the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR), has been hitch-free, calling for sustained peace across the state, adding that elections can only take place in an atmosphere of peace.
Meanwhile, State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Toyin Babalola, said all the registration centres for the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) had been adequately manned by security personnel and no negative report had been received so far since the commencement of the exercise.
