As a Nigerian, it is a necessity for you to have your PVC so that you can vote for who you want and collectively elect someone capable to be President to improve your living conditions. If you do not vote, you’re allowing candidates that aren’t supposed to be in the seat of power to have a big chance at being sworn in, and in the end, comes REGRET!
Now, before we go on with the simple steps on how you can register your PVC online in Nigeria, let’s check out a few subheaders, like what your PVC is? Why it’s important that you get it and some other important points. Let’s start with;
What is PVC?
Your PVC is an acronym for “Permanent Voters Card”. Now, this is pretty self-explanatory but I’ll go further to define it as a card that’s also a means of identification and it allows you to exercise your civic right to vote in the General elections. So, basically for you to be eligible to vote, you need to have your Permanent Voters card!
Now, I stated that your PVC is also a means of identification, so what information is contained in your Permanent Voters Card? Well, on your PVC, you’ll have some physical attributes like your legal full name, Date of Birth (DOB), Occupation, Address, Gender, and your Photograph. It’ll also contain digital attributes like your Fingerprint and this will be used to verify your identity when you go out to vote to avoid any fraudulent schemes.
How Do I Get My PVC as a Physical Card?
Well, with the steps I’ll be explaining in a short while, you can register for your PVC online and you’ll have a temporary voter’s card, then you’ll have to schedule a meeting and a pickup to get your Physical card from INEC (Independent National Electoral Commission).
What Do I Do If I Lose My PVC?
If by chance, you lose your PVC, it’s very easy to request a new one, you can search for any INEC offices near your location and then you meet the Electoral officer in your location and you explain the situation, with little verification, you’ll get a new one. Make sure you do this thirty days before any General elections as the processing of PVCs will be halted thirty days before any General elections. You will also be required to pay a fee for this!
How Can I Locate My Physical PVC After Registering Online?
