He explained that no fewer than 428,446 Permanent Voter Cards were yet to be collected in the state, adding that a total of 1,253,484 PVCs had been distributed out of 1,681,930 leaving 428,446 uncollected.
He said “the commission had concluded arrangements to take PVCs to the rural areas for collection by their owners. The collection would take place between Wednesday January 16 and Monday January 21. I want to seize this opportunity to tell all those who are yet to collect their PVCs to use the opportunity to do so.
