The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) disclosed that over two million Nigerians have registered online to get their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) since the launch of the portal on June 28, 2021.
This was disclosed by the National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye in a press release on Monday. He said that the total online registered as at Monday, 23rd August, 2021, is 2,215,832.
INEC commenced a nationwide in-person or physical registration and the completion of online pre-registration about four weeks ago.
It said the number of completed registration now stands at 430,363.
A detailed distribution of the online and completed registration by state, age, gender, occupation, and disability is available on the INEC website and social media platforms, the statement added.
The commission appealed to eligible citizens who have not registered to seize the opportunity to do so.
“For emphasis, the Commission wishes to reiterate that those who have already registered as voters need not register again.
“However, those who wish to transfer to another place where they wish to vote in future elections or who have issues with their Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) may apply online or in-person for resolution”, it added.
