In Plateau State, officials reported strong interest from women in collecting their Permanent Voter Cards. During a stakeholders meeting in Jos, the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mallam Mohammed Abubakar Sadiq, said the state received more than 76,000 applications over three months, with 25,290 new registrations completed. He noted that women have collected 610 PVCs compared to 394 collected by men.
Sadiq warned that thousands of PVCs remain unclaimed, with more than 101,000 cards still in the commission’s custody. He urged residents to use the display period to verify details and collect their cards, noting that only 1,004 PVCs were picked up in the past three months, a collection rate of just 0.09 per cent.
Stakeholders including traditional rulers, councils, political parties, security agencies and the media were commended for supporting mobilisation efforts in the state. INEC restated its commitment to keeping a credible and transparent voter register as preparations continue for the next phase of registration.
