Plateau: INEC Says Over 95,000 PVCs Are Still Waiting for Collection
Prof. Samuel Egwu, the Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, made the disclosure at a press conference in Jos on Friday.
He said most of the unclaimed cards belong to people who registered before the 2023 general elections.
He urged them to come and collect their cards so they can vote in 2027.
Egwu said the cards from the first phase of the Continuous Voter Registration exercise, held between August and December 2025, are ready at INEC offices in all 17 local government areas.
Cards for people who applied for transfers or corrections are also available, with more than 19,000 ready for pickup.
He said cards from the second phase, which ran from January to April, have been sent to all 17 local government areas for collection.
Cards from the third phase are not yet ready but should be available before the end of November.
He also said non sensitive election materials are stored at the INEC office in Jos and will soon be sent to the 17 local government areas.
Training for electoral officers who were not trained in 2023 has started.
Egwu reaffirmed INEC’s readiness to hold a credible election in 2027.
