The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced an extension of the ongoing distribution of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), ahead of the November 8, 2025, governorship election in Anambra State. In a statement released on Monday, October 27, 2025, and signed by the Director of Voter Education and Publicity, Mrs Victoria Eta-Messi, the Commission said the decision followed numerous appeals from citizens and stakeholders who requested more time for eligible voters to collect their cards. Originally scheduled to end on Sunday, October 26, the exercise will now continue from Wednesday, October 29, to Sunday, November 2, 2025. The extension specifically covers voters who registered during the recent Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise in the state. INEC encouraged 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 Commission reiterated that the collection of PVCs must be done in person, emphasising that no proxy collection would be allowed. INEC also appreciated the patience, enthusiasm, and cooperation of Anambra residents and urged them to use the extended period to prepare for the forthcoming governorship election.
