The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Ondo
State said it had distributed a total of 1,201,073 Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs)
to registered voters.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Mr.
Olusegun Agbaje, made this announcement at a stakeholders’ meeting in
Akure Wednesday.
He added that 344,006 PVCs haven't been collected yet and
encouraged those yet to collect theirs to do so as distribution continues.
He
said: “It is important to stress at this juncture that only the
PVCs would be used to vote during the governorship poll, while the smart card
readers would be used for accreditation of voters,’’
He further stated that selling of PVCs or any form of
manipulation of the card is a serious offence punishable under the law with
fines and/or prison term.
He assured electorates in the state that INEC will remain fair and unbiased to
everyone during elections.
