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.\n<\/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.\n<\/p>\n

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