In line with the demands of Anambra people and other stakeholders, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, says it has extended the ongoing distribution of Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs by one week.
The electoral umpire had initially slated Sunday October 26 as the final day for eligible voters in the state to collect their voter card, but has now extended the date to November 2, 2025.
In a statement released on Monday, October, and signed by the Director of Voter Education and Publicity, Mrs Victoria Eta-Messi, the Commission said it took the decision after much persuasion from major stakeholders in the election, including civil societies and human rights group.
The Commission however stated that the extension specifically covers voters who registered during the recent Continuous Voter Registration, CVR exercise in the state.
It urged all registered voters who have yet to pick up their PVCs to seize this opportunity and visit their designated collection centres across the 326 Registration Areas (Wards) in Anambra State.
The collection of PVCs must be done in person, INEC said, emphasizing that no proxy collection would be allowed.
The magazine reports that incumbent governor, Prof Charles Soludo is among governorship candidates registered by the INEC to contest the election slated for less than two weeks.
A former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Soludo has vowed to win the election, citing his achievements in the last four years.
