\"INEC:<\/p>\n

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Lagos State says 116,745 Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) of newly registered voters are yet to be collected.<\/p>\n

The Administrative Secretary of INEC in Lagos, Mrs Adenike Tadese, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday.<\/p>\n

Tadese said that the commission had received 177,295 PVCs belonging to eligible residents registered during Phase One of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise in 2025.<\/p>\n

She said the commission\u2019s weekly update as of Monday showed that 60,550 PVCs had been collected by their owners, leaving 116,745 cards awaiting collection.<\/p>\n

According to her, the uncollected cards represent a significant number of eligible voters who should collect their PVCs to exercise their franchise in the 2027 general elections.<\/p>\n

She said the cards were available for collection at the various local government offices of the commission across the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cards are available for collection by their owners, not by proxy, at the various local government offices of the commission in Lagos,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Tadese urged stakeholders to mobilise both old registrants who have not collected their cards and those who participated in the 2025 CVR exercise to collect their PVCs.<\/p>\n

She said the cards were still lying at INEC offices and appealed to their owners to collect them before the collection window closed ahead of the forthcoming elections.<\/p>\n

The INEC official also disclosed that PVCs belonging to eligible residents who registered during the 2026 CVR exercise before its closure would soon be ready for collection.<\/p>\n

Tadese, however, urged eligible registered voters to maintain orderliness during the collection of their PVCs.<\/p>\n

She reaffirmed the commission\u2019s readiness to conduct free, fair and credible elections that would be acceptable to all stakeholders in the state.<\/p>\n

The administrative secretary also called for peaceful and orderly campaigns, urging all stakeholders to abide by the rules guiding the electoral process.<\/p>\n

She appealed to political actors and other stakeholders to play by the rules to ensure a peaceful electoral environment ahead of the 2027 general elections. (NAN)<\/p>\n
